Features: Bill Clinton, a boy as ordinary as could be and with no background, rose to become a figure of global attention—the 42nd President of the United States through relentless effort. This is nothing short of a miracle among miracles, and as a result, Clinton has been shrouded in a mysterious aura. His origins, his family, his wife, and his private life have all become focal points of public interest. Moreover, Clinton's successful re-election and his eight years in the White House, during which the U.S. economy grew for seven consecutive years, have made him a somewhat legendary figure in American history. Even four years after leaving the White House, he is still widely discussed and closely followed. This book focuses on Clinton's "vision" and "courage," tracing his journey from a young man with lofty ambitions to his arduous path of political campaigning, his bold entry into the political arena, his all-out pursuit of his "power" dream, his election as Governor of Arkansas, and his eventual ascent to the pinnacle of power—the presidency. In the White House, he demonstrated remarkable achievements, both domestically and internationally. At the same time, behind the charming president were numerous scandals, and despite being impeached, he managed to survive and achieve even greater success. The right or wrong of it all will be judged by future generations.
