Gil Troy, a native of Queens, New York, and professor of history at McGill University, is the author of Mr. and Mrs. President: From the Trumans to the Clintons (see page 35); Morning in America: How Ronald Reagan Invented the 1980s; and See How They Ran: The Changing Role of the Presidential Candidate. His commentaries on presidential politics have also appeared in the New York Times, Wall Street Journal, and Washington Post, among other prominent publications.
"A valuable primer on a first lady who is both a cultural icon and
a political force. Troy's portrait of Hillary Rodham Clinton shows
how her elasticity as a public figure saved her husband's
presidency and ultimately led her to pursue power in her own
right."--Eleanor Clift, contributing editor, Newsweek"A balanced
and astute assessment of one of the most complex, polarizing, and
compelling political figures of our time--a book that manages to be
psychologically revealing without ever sensationalizing."--Margaret
Talbot, author of Gender, Power, and Culture"The Hillary Clinton
that emerges from Troy's book is not a caricature, but a real
person, possessing virtues and flaws, living a life marked by both
achievement and failure."--Alonzo L. Hamby, author of For the
Survival of Democracy"A cogent, clear-eyed, and timely view of the
most prominent and, arguably, controversial first lady in modern
American history."--Barbara Kellerman, author of The Political
Presidency
"One of the few balanced studies of Clinton. Worth keeping in mind
as the campaigns heat up."--Library Journal"An engrossing look at
the behind-the-scenes 'psychodrama' of the Clinton White
House."--Booklist"The complex individual shines through Troy's
eloquent rendering. Highly recommended."--Choice
