这本书实在够长(800来页),如果不是对政治有兴趣,或者对克林顿的生涯有兴趣实在没必要读。克林顿如何从一个阿肯色州小镇男孩在30岁当上州检察长,然后32岁当上阿肯色州州长,46岁当上美国总统。另,如果想知道更多关于莱温斯基丑闻的事,不用费心读这本书了,因为它几乎没提这茬。
评分太tm长了,看了后边忘前边

比尔・克林顿,1946年8月19日出生于美国阿肯色州霍普市一个小店主家庭。法学博士学位。妻子是同班女同学希拉里。1976年,当选阿肯色州司法部长。1979年,他就任阿肯色州第40任州长。时年仅32岁,被新闻界称为“孩子州长”。1992年11月3日,他在大选中以压倒性优势获胜,击败布什,当选美国第42任总统。
In the acknowledgments, former president Clinton thanks his editor, Robert Gottlieb, for helping him make the book half as long and twice as good. That man should get five stars! This book is way too long in its current form and not good enough.
Unless you are a friend or a big fan of Mr. Clinton, you will find this book not worth the effort. Fully half is devoted to descriptions of daily events during his two presidential terms. Almost all of the events you will probably remember from living through those years. Although these events were needed for completeness, there was little added that was new. I found the background descriptions of assisting the negotiations between Israel, Syria, and the Palestinians to be the most interesting part of the presidential section.
The best part of the book comes in the period before his first election in Arkansas. How did a young man from a very troubled home end up on the fast track for early political success? Although you will not be able to totally answer that question from reading this book, you will certainly know a lot more than you did before you started. I was especially impressed by the incredible loyalty that he showed to his stepfather, despite the awful treatment that his mother received. I did not realize that Mr. Clinton had only legally adopted the last name of Clinton after his mother remarried his stepfather.
If you are looking for lots of insights into his personal inclination to cause pain in his marriage through affairs, you won't find anything new. You will find out the day when his wife stopped making him sleep on the sofa in the White House.
Although the book is mostly a diary of what he did and when, there are occasional moments of reflection in the book that make reading it rewarding. Unfortunately, the new reflections only occur about every 50 pages or so. Most of the best reflections are in the first half of the book.
The main ingredient that is missing from the book is the tremendous personal appeal that Mr. Clinton excites in many people. That element of his success is largely hidden in this account. He has a genuine liking for others, a sense of commitment to helping them and an incredible stamina for taking on challenges. It would have been good to combine this book with a CD of reminiscences about peoples' reactions to him at very times.
You also don't get much of a sense of his high intelligence, encyclopedic memory, and grasp of complex situations. I have heard Mr. Clinton go on for hours about difficult policy questions without notes and without knowing what questions would be asked. In fact, he tends to downplay those skills.
The material about his presidency would have been greatly enhanced with advice for future presidents.
The end of the book has an almost whiny tone in complaining about Right Wing conspiracies and recalcitrant Republicans in Congress. That part could have been edited down further. You'll get the idea after the first few pages of this discussion.
Frankly, I would not have finished the book except that many of my friends are in the book, and I found myself looking forward to their appearances in the text and what would be said about them.
For most people, you can read the first half and skip the rest.
If you really want to know about certain parts of his life and want to skip the others, the index can give you a condensed books version of his life.
If you did not find him to be a person who inspired you, I suggest that you skip the book.
Seek to do the best for all!
把这本传记当作睡前读物,每天读两章正好睡觉。昨天试了一下,的确是催眠的上佳读物。 一直挺喜欢看人物传记的,喜欢看别人的人生轨迹,想从那些似乎与平凡人类似的生活中看出他们之所以与众不同的地方来。我总觉得再伟大的人,都是靠后天努力取得自己的成就,我想知...
评分其实没读完,因为缺乏对美国政治的了解,看他写美国政治的事是吃力不讨好,所以只看了他个人生活的一些片断,得出结论如下: 1. Bill从小就是个精力充沛的人。 2. Bill很英俊,但是笑容里透着狡黠,是智力超群的人常有的那种优越感。 3. 在美国,从长春藤大学...

评分终于读到了尾声,终于可以比较“放心”的写下点感受,而不去害怕自己是在断章取义。 这本自传对我最大的益处是让我对美国的政治体制有一个大概的粗略的了解。PS 最近无意中看到一些介绍马英九的文章,发现小马哥的经历和Clinton是有相似之处的。台湾搞出来的一套治“国”体制...
