All Too Human

A Political Education

De: George Stephanopoulos

Narrado por: George Stephanopoulos

All Too Human is a new-generation political memoir, written from the refreshing perspective of one who got his hands on the levers of awesome power at an early age.

At thirty, the author was at Bill Clinton's side during the presidential campaign of 1992, and for the next five years he was rarely more than a step away from the president and his other advisers at every important moment of the first term. What Liar's Poker did to Wall Street, this book will do to politics. It is an irreverent and intimate portrait of how the nation's weighty business is conducted by people whose egos and idiosyncrasies are no sturdier than anyone else's. Including sharp portraits of the Clintons, Al Gore, Dick Morris, Colin Powell, and scores of others, as well as candid and revelatory accounts of the famous debacles and triumphs of an administration that constantly went over the top,

All Too Human is, like its author, a brilliant combination of pragmatic insight and idealism. It is destined to be the most important and enduring book to come out of the Clinton administration.

30 yes old and in the White House

Close enough to the pinnacle to see the beauty and the flaws. An insider's perspective and then one from a distance. Well writ. Well read. Enjoyed.

Not too shabby

Seems like the author was telling a story that would balance what some Americans thought of President Clinton. It seemed to be a fair assessment, and was stated from the beginning as HIS perspective, which is fine. There were realy no surprising revelations, except the author was able to get some of his emotions about Mr. Clinton off his chest.

ABRIDGED!!!

Good story but I didn’t know Audible had abridged versions. My mistake for not reading more in the description.

ABRIDGED

It is my own fault. I didn't check if this was an unabridged copy. It is not!

Beware this audio book is ABRI

West wing TV show brought me here!

This account of the White House provided more gravity to the actual show. George's experience is very interesting.
