Rewriting history

Edición de la obra Rewriting history

Political consultant extraordinaire Dick Morris, former Clinton adviser and confidant, turns his sharp-eyed gaze on Hillary Clinton — whose appetite for power, he argues, has only increased since her husband’s checkered presidency. Morris draws on his own extensive interactions with the Clintons, as well as his trademark deep research, to create a rebuttal to Hillary’s bestselling autobiography, Living History. Focusing on Senator Clinton’s attempts to remake her image in preparation for a future presidential race, Morris exposes Clinton’s habitual attempts to pad her resume, amplify her accomplishments, and otherwise misrepresent her life story — in short, to lie — for political gain. Armed with years of political experience and insider credibility, Morris rises to challenge the Senator’s memoir, lifting the mask to reveal the dark side of Hillary Clinton.In Rewriting History, Morris pierces the mask to get at the truth behind the distortions and omissions of Hillary's memoir. Here we meet the real Hillary, both good and bad: the manager who makes the trains run on time, but also the paranoid who sees all those who disagree with her as personal enemies; the idealist, but also the "advice addict" easily misled by the guru of the moment. Morris describes Hillary's sense of entitlement, and warns that it may lead deep into financial scandal. And he demonstrates how Hillary dodges criticism by pretending that every attack is directed not just at her, but at every working woman in America.Ultimately, Morris argues, the Hillary Clinton of today is marketing a false front, obscuring both her wants and her assets behind the phony facade of a domestic Everywoman. But as she pursues higher office, she also faces a choice. Will she, like Bobby Kennedy, see the error of her ruthless ways, and embrace the sincere idealism she professes? Or, like Richard Nixon, will she allow the darker angels of her nature to overcome her, jeopardizing herself and the country in the process?As Rewriting History suggests, we can only hope that Hillary Clinton's past performance is no guarantee of future results.
