Bill Clinton Uncensored: a totally unexpected and heretofore secret 8 years of Clinton exchanging his private thoughts and opinions of people, including Al Gore and a titillating cast of the Clinton presidency.

This is the real Bill Clinton unfiltered, the real deal, not one of those gossipy speculative books floating around about politicians, because this is from the "big dog's" mouth.

An unusual historical goldmine, particularly because it is authored by the Pulitzer-Prize winning Taylor Branch, who wrote a tour de force three-part biography/historical series on Martin Luther King and the civil rights movement.

"This book rests upon a secret project, initiated by Clinton, to preserve for future historians an unfiltered record of presidential experience. During his eight years in office, between 1993 and 2001, Clinton answered questions and told stories in the White House, usually late at night. His friend Pulitzer Prize-winning author Taylor Branch recorded seventy-nine of these dialogues to compile a trove of raw information about a presidency as it happened. Clinton drew upon the diary transcripts for his memoir in 2004.

Branch recorded his own detailed recollections immediately after each session, covering not only the subjects discussed but also the look and feel of each evening with the president. The text engages Clinton from many angles. Readers hear candid stories, feel buffeting pressures, and weigh vivid descriptions of the White House settings."

So, this is Bill Clinton during his presidency revealing his raw thinking, knowing that his voluntarily recorded conversations with Taylor Branch would not be published until nearly a decade after the end of his presidency.

This is an historically important treasure chest because it comes directly from Bill Clinton, along with the compelling, contextual observations of the brilliant writer Taylor Branch.

Bill Clinton gets down to it in these raw conversations over the course of the 8 years of his presidency.

And unlike many books by third parties, the source here is none other than Bill Clinton, with the narrative insights of the esteemed Taylor Branch.
