Summary

"Just as the necessary qualification for a good liar is a good memory, so the essential equipment of a would-be lie detector is a good timeline, and a decent archive." In No One Left to Lie to, a New York Times best seller, Christopher Hitchens casts an unflinching eye on the Clinton political machine and offers a searing indictment of a president who sought to hold power at any cost. With blistering wit and meticulous documentation, Hitchens masterfully deconstructs Clinton's abject propensity for pandering to the Left while delivering to the Right, and he argues that the president's personal transgressions were ultimately inseparable from his political corruption.

Hitchens questions the president's refusals to deny accusations of rape by reputable women and lambasts, among numerous impostures, his insistence on playing the race card, the shortsightedness of his welfare bill, his ludicrous war on drugs, and his abandonment of homosexuals in the form of the Defense of Marriage Act. Opportunistic statecraft, crony capitalism, "divide and rule" identity politics, and populist manipulations - these are perhaps Clinton's greatest and most enduring legacies.

Was there a rapist in the Whitehouse?

Bill Clinton continues to be one of the USA's most popular Presidents. However, Hitchens suggests that behind the facade Clinton was a sexual predator who was prepared to use air-strikes on innocent targets in order to deflect attention from his sexual and financial scandals. This is a well-argued, well-evidenced book that strips away the handsome Rhode scholar image and allows the reader to see the rancid underbelly of a manipulative, bullying, self-fixated individual.

A very interesting book and relevant now.

Would you listen to No One Left to Lie To again? Why?

Yes, because I would need to hear the details again in order to understand the argument.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Not applicable.

Which scene did you most enjoy?

Not applicable

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

I found some aspects of these events made me angry, and sorry that justice was probably never done. Also it made me re-appraise my views on BOTH the Clintons, and their entourage.

Brilliant and revelatory

Never less than a pleasure to hear such brilliant writing. Interesting that, on investigation, so many successful politicians are found to be corrupt, and sad that we are so easily taken in.

A real eye opener

As a previous fan of the Clintons, this book has thoroughly demolished what I once thought to be true. Even if only some of it is true, it casts both Bill and Hilary in a whole new light. It also goes some way to explain why Hilary lost to Trump.

Outstanding

The view that we have depends upon where we sit! Hitchens as ever looks for the truth and provides the story behind the story, corruption to some is seen as a means to an end, exposing such behaviour hopefully will one day discourage others from this course, Unfortunately the reality is that within the circles of power they all follow the money, some worse than others!

Another view of Bill

Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?

It's a reasonable book - not one for Clinton fans as it offers a darker side to the Democratic darling.. Interesting in light of the current presidential race. Politics, power and how they are used to dominate in every sense..

David

I stopped reading after one hour.
I didn’t like the reader’s voice and I failed to grasp the meaning of what was said due to the excessive amount of words and detail the author chose to use.l felt the author was indulging himself rather than telling a story.
