Justus For All

I didn’t buy Hillary Clinton’s Living History even though I think she is a fascinating character with a great story to tell. Problem is, I don’t think right now she is at all interested in telling her story, so much as selling herself as a politician. While that can be interesting in its own way, that isn’t the Hillary story I want to read.

I have read two other Hillary books recently though, Rewriting History by Dick Morris and American Evita by Christopher Andersen. Both give essencially the same view of Hillary, although I was surprised that Dick Morris’s book was the kinder of the two. Obviously neither book presents Hillary in a very favorable light, although some of the facts in her life are very interesting (although a number were missing from Living History).

I am not much in favor of Hillary’s politics. I am convinced that she would do anything to gain power and subverts her own moral beliefs to that quest. Even with those negatives however, I would prefer her as a candidate for President over John Kerry. On thing about her is that I am convinced she is tough.

If you are interested in Hillary, but just want to read one book on her, I recommend Dick Morris’s book.
