No One Left to Lie To

The Triangulations of William Jefferson Clinton

De: Christopher Hitchens, Douglas Brinkley - foreword

Narrado por: Simon Prebble

"Just as the necessary qualification for a good liar is a good memory, so the essential equipment of a would-be lie detector is a good timeline, and a decent archive."

In No One Left to Lie To, a New York Times best seller, Christopher Hitchens casts an unflinching eye on the Clinton political machine and offers a searing indictment of a president who sought to hold power at any cost. With blistering wit and meticulous documentation, Hitchens masterfully deconstructs Clinton's abject propensity for pandering to the Left while delivering to the Right, and he argues that the president's personal transgressions were ultimately inseparable from his political corruption.

Hitchens questions the president's refusals to deny accusations of rape by reputable women and lambasts, among numerous impostures, his insistence on playing the race card, the shortsightedness of his welfare bill, his ludicrous war on drugs, and his abandonment of homosexuals in the form of the Defense of Marriage Act.

Opportunistic statecraft, crony capitalism, "divide and rule" identity politics, and populist manipulations-these are perhaps Clinton's greatest and most enduring legacies.

Nothing but the truth

Background, I'm a libertarian with no dog in the political fight. Hitchens is a contrarian, he is a gifted writer who's fundamental beliefs are different than my own. He nailed it with this book. He details the corruption of the "clintonoids". I was amazed at how much the media and fellow democrats enable(d) these creeps. NBC withheld the rape story until after the election, and are obviously in the tank for Hillary now. They witheld the Donald audio so they could have an October surprise. They were complicit in minimizing Bernie! history repeating itself. We deserve a better choice. but i digress. . A few things that I was not fully aware of, Bill Clinton is most likely a rapist. Hitchens does insinuate that Bill's victims might have their day... which the buffoon Donald helped make happen the other night. He details how Clinton inc.. goes after and threatens their opponents and fellow democrats who don't fall in line. likewise their ability to prostitute themselves for money, and for a mere 25k to the Pakistanis. It's truly depressing that we are likely gojng to have 4 years of them again in the white house. At this moment the wh. staff are putting new locks on the Lincoln bedroom. The book is a great listen, it's not from a political hack like most "journalism " on the right and left today. I hate politics with a passion, i was afraid I'd be bummed out by hearing this, but i found myself enjoying this disturbing summation. Just get it, you'll enjoy

A classic of our times

An incredible book about the permanent loss of ethical government in our country. Hitchens was a superhuman writer and thinker.

very informative easy listen

amazed at all of the audacious criminality with the clinton clan

Hitchens is a bi political criticizer

truth telling at its finest

DNC Should Have Read This

If the DNC had read this book, it would have tapped into some of the reasons Hillary should NEVER have been their nominee.

Dry, but extraordinarily valuable.

Bear with Hitchens. As the man himself said "if you care about something. you'd better be prepared to be boring about it.

The criminal wrong doing and amorality of the Clinton administration has been almost entirely forgotten. His administration marks the point in history that set the stage for moral monstrosities like Trump to be tolerated and even successful in American politics. This book is incredibly valuable in that it shows us how we first went wrong.

A concise hit piece on America's worst president

A very informative book and an eye opener for contemporary Americans. However not Hitchens' best work.

The revelations about the actual history of the Clintons

The prose tends to be oblique for the American ear but more aligned with an Oxbridge education. Nevertheless, the sarcasm is pure Hitchens and enjoyable when listened to slowly

Christopher hitchens is so wise and compassionate. I wish I had the pleasure of having met him.

Anything Christopher Hitchens writes, I endorse! I wish you were here now too give his thoughts on how America is going to crumble under the new regime. When Christopher speaks, I listen. I miss his wisdom but I'm enjoying his books again.

Great Overview

A great story of how nobmatterbhow you clean up a hound dog ... you can't change what you are

Essential Reading to Understanding the Clintons

Disturbing and shocking. Through his criminal sexual predatory behavior, Clinton paved and smoothed the way for trump.

The question remains: why can't we in the U.S. elect better people?
