Product Description

From the Publisher

President Clinton Revealed!
If you missed the hardcover edition of Dick Morris's controversial Behind the Oval Office, you cannot miss this new paperback version. This edition not only tells the story of the turnaround in the president's fortune that led to his victory in 1996, but it also contains new material that shows the startling inner workings of the Clinton Presidency. In the new introduction, Morris gives us an inside view into the mind and behavior of Bill Clinton, torn between a "Sunday-morning" idealism and a "Saturday-night" attraction to danger and inappropriate liaisons. Even more revealing, however, are the more than 200 pages of original briefing papers--the agendas--replicated and released here for the first time to the public. These are actual documents given to President Clinton and Vice President Al Gore at their weekly strategy meetings by Dick Morris and the campaign's political consultants. Insightful and intriguing, Behind the Oval Office is a must read for anyone who truly wants to know how politics work. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good stuff for political junkies, 20 Sep 2003
By Bert Ruiz "author/journalist" (Pleasantville, NY) - See all my reviews
(TOP 100 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Behind the Oval Office: Getting RE-Elected against All Odds (Paperback)
Dick Morris is full of himself. However, this book is worth reading...particularly if you are a political junkie like myself. "Behind the Oval Office: Winning The Presidency in the Nineties," offers a front row seat to White House political strategy. To this end, the one conclusion that all will agree upon with this book is that President Bill Clinton is a slave to the polls.

In many ways this book reveals how shallow politics can get. Morris is an extremely influential political actor in the Clinton White House and is able to expertly navigate the President through the dangerous aftermath of the 1994 Newt Gingrich and Bob Dole midterm Republican advances. Moreover, there is no doubt that Morris laid the foundation for Bill Clinton's second term victory.

Morris does not enjoy the victory...he goes out in disgrace. Nevertheless, this book shows how the author's twenty-year relationship with William Jefferson Clinton and his wife Hillary allowed this couple from Arkansas to survive many political storms. Morris is a master of polling and offers many insights on how polling tracks voter thinking on many sensitive issues. This book is easy to read and a straightforward account of how the "big boys" win in the political arena.

4.0 out of 5 stars warts and all, 3 Aug 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Behind the Oval Office: Getting RE-Elected against All Odds (Paperback)
Dick Morris explains the process of decision making at the heart of the Clinton administration. Without glossing over the personal follies of both boss and advisor Morris shows how Clinton surrounded himself with pragmatists and idealists drawing from both camps the philosophy and the policy needed to continue in office. Best appreciated along with 'All too Human'by Clintons other camp leader, this book deatils the events and the tactics that reelected the first real modern leader.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great Book if you love politics, 14 Jul 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Behind the Oval Office: Getting RE-Elected against All Odds (Paperback)
Mr. Morris seems a bit full of himself in the book. However, if you are someone who follows politics, then you will love this book. The behind the scenes accounts are a great insight into the Clinton presidency. I recommend this book to all political junkies.
