Book Reviews of The Truth of Power: Intellectual Affairs in the Clinton White House (Columbia Studies in Political Thought / Political History)
Book Review: An intellect that atrophied
Summary: 5 Stars
Unlike the author--who consulted with Clinton on his State of the Union speeches--most of us are too embarrassed to admit we were seduced by Clinton's intellect. Through the vehicle of memoir, Prof. Barber is at once candid about his expectations of the President, his own ambition, his seduction, and his ultimate disappointments. The best parts of this book are Prof. Barber's discussion about the way that language shapes our understanding of civic life; and how Clinton's inability to use language effectively left his legacy empty.
