Описание: President Bill Clinton gives us his views on the challenges facing the United States today and why government matters—presenting his ideas on restoring economic growth, job creation, financial responsibility, resolving the mortgage crisis, and pursuing a strategy to get us "back in the future business.” He explains how we got into the current economic crisis, and offers specific recommendations on how we can put people back to work, increase bank lending and corporate investment, double our exports, restore our manufacturing base, and create new businesses. He supports President Obama’s emphasis on green technology, saying that changing the way we produce and consume energy is the strategy most likely to spark a fast-growing economy while enhancing our national security. Clinton also stresses that we need a strong private sector and a smart government working together to restore prosperity and progress, demonstrating that whenever we’ve given in to the temptation to blame government for all our problems, we’ve lost our ability to produce sustained economic growth and shared prosperity.

Описание:

Mi vida, del presidente Clinton, es un impresionante y sorprendentemente honesto retrato de un l der global que decidi cuando era joven que dedicar a sus dotes intelectuales y pol ticos, y su extraordinaria capacidad para el trabajo duro, al servicio de los ciudadanos.
Nos muestra el avance de un americano notable que, gracias a sus enormes energ as y su esfuerzo, logr realizar el improbable viaje desde Hope, Arkansas, hasta la Casa Blanca -- un trayecto alimentado por su apasionado inter s en el proceso pol tico que se manifest en cada etapa de su vida: en la universidad, trabajando como becario para el senador William Fulbright; en Oxford, cuando form parte del movimiento de protesta contra la guerra de Vietnam en la facultad de Derecho de Yale, haciendo campa a a nivel de base para los candidatos dem cratas; y de nuevo en Arkansas, cuando se present candidato al Congreso, a fiscal general y al cargo de gobernador.

A lo largo de esta obra, somos testigos de c mo su carrera pol tica se forj a partir de su decidida voluntad de mejorar la vida de sus conciudadanos, un compromiso firme con el avance de los derechos civiles, y una excepcional capacidad de comprender los detalles pr cticos de la vida pol tica.
Tambi n llegamos a comprender las presiones emocionales a las que se vio sometido en su juventud, desde su nacimiento tras la temprana muerte de su padre, hasta la dif cil situaci n que vivi , atrapado en una relaci n disfuncional entre su en rgica madre que tanto se preocup de l, y un padrastro maltratador al que jam s dej de querer, y cuyo nombre adopt . Asistimos a la atracci n que sinti por la brillante e irresistible Hillary Rodham, con la cual decidi casarse, y a la apasionada devoci n, desde su infancia, a su hija Chelsea, as como a toda la experiencia de la paternidad. Y tambi n, c mo lenta y dolorosamente, empieza a comprender que su temprana negaci n del dolor en ocasiones le arrastr a pautas de conducta da inas.

El libro del presidente Clinton es tambi n la narraci n m s completa, matizada y con m s detalles concretos de una presidencia que se ha escrito jam s, abarcando no s--lo los momentos m s destacados de las crisis sino tambi n la manera en que la presidencia funciona realmente: el bombardeo cotidiano de problemas, personalidades, conflictos, reveses y xitos.Es un testamento acerca del impacto positivo que su labor y sus ideales tuvieron en Estados Unidos y en todo el mundo.
Es el emocionante relato de un presidente sometido a un asalto implacable y concertado, orquestado por sus enemigos de la extrema derecha, as' como la historia de c mo sobrevivo y termin por prevalecer sobre todo ello.

Estamos ante un tesoro de momentos capturados en toda su vivacidad, entre ellos:
- El ni o de diez a os contemplando las convenciones pol ticas nacionales en el nuevo (y primer) aparato de televisi n familiar.
- La monta a rusa que fue la campa a de 1992.
- Las conversaciones extraordinariamente francas con Newt Gingrich y Bob Dole.
- La delicada manipulaci n necesaria para convencer a Rabin y Arafat de que se dieran la mano frente a las c maras, a la vez que deb a evitarse que Arafat besara a Rabin.
- El coste, tanto p blico como privado, del esc ndalo que amenaza-- a la presidencia.

Nos hallamos frente a la vida de una destacada figura nacional e internacional, que nos es revelada con todos sus talentos y contradicciones, contada abiertamente, con su voz personal y reconocible. Un libro excepcional de un americano excepcional.

Описание: Bill Clinton, the first president born after the end of World War II, brought a new generations vision and attitude to the White House. His 1992 defeat of overwhelming favorite George H. W. Bush, who was running for a second term, is a fascinating story of the fickleness of presidential popularity. Clinton was an unknown Governor of Arkansas when he won the Democratic nomination, most big-name candidates having opted to forgo what they viewed as a hopeless race. Clinton emerged from a troubled childhood in Arkansas to become a Rhodes Scholar and a Yale Law School graduate. He was a man of great ambition, intellect and determination, but it was his charismatic personality and ability to reach out with empathy to others that made him such a popular president. While his inexperience led to bungling some legislative opportunities, he skillfully shepherded other measures through Congress while keeping the country peaceful and increasingly prosperous during his two terms in office. His presidency was marred by scandals created by his engagement in inappropriate sexual relationships with women, scandals for which he was relentlessly pursued by enemies willing to use scorched-earth tactics to try to destroy him. Clinton possessed unsurpassed resiliency, labelling himself the Comeback Kid, and managed to survive only the second impeachment in American history. Clinton left a legacy of peace and prosperity when he left office at the start of the 21st century, but the nation had become far more politically divisive.
