A Woman in Charge: The Life of Hillary Rodham Clinton

by Carl Bernstein

Hillary Clinton is somebody you think you know... which makes Carl Bernstein's new bio, A Woman in Charge, so surprising. Fresh, complete and detailed, it offers a welcome chance to recalibrate our gauges on her. You already know it's quite a story, but Bernstein fleshes it out as never before. He takes us from the hallways of Park Ridge's Maine East High School (where the yearbook wags called her Sister Frigidaire) to the intimate awkwardness of the White House family quarters as Monicagate descends. Bernstein, the famed All the President's Men journalist, is dead solid perfect in his reporting here . . . The detail and digging on display in A Woman in Charge is stunning.
