Reviews for Hillary and Bill: The Clintons and the Politics of the Personal
"William H. Chafe understands, as do too few historians and biographers, that the personal and public lives of political figures cannot be separated. . . . Chafe is quite right to insist that the stories of Bill and Hillary Clinton prove the point."
