Taylor Branch, author of the definitive three-volume biography of Martin Luther King and his times, has been a friend of President Clinton’s since they met during Senator George McGovern’s 1972 presidential campaign. Branch was invited to interview the President dozens of times between 1993 and 2001, for roughly two hours each time. The President's side of those conversations formed the basis of his own memoir. Branch recorded his take not only on the content of the conversations, but on Clinton's demeanor, moods, puzzlements, and the homely aspects of his and his family's life in the West Wing. Branch’s new book highlights major events from Clinton's two terms, including the war in Bosnia, the anti-deficit crusade, health-reform failure, anti-terrorist strikes, peace initiatives, the 1996 re-election campaign, and the Whitewater investigations that culminated in Clinton’s 1999 impeachment trial.
