Pulitzer Prize-winning historian Taylor Branch takes us inside the Clinton White House with a discussion of *The Clinton Tapes: Wrestling History with the President*. During President Clinton's two terms in the White House, Taylor Branch spent many hours interviewing him about recent events, his private torments, life in the White House, and his political challenges. *The Clinton Tapes* depicts the unique content of those interviews, interspersed with some of Branch's own experience in collecting an oral history that amounts to Clinton's secret diary of his presidential years. The Bill Clinton diaries are a unique historical treasure, holding stories of revelation and impact. There has never been a book quite like this--as a president, in office, tries to remember, explain, contemplate, and manage his actions and their legacy.
