Legacy: Paying the Price for the Clinton Years, by Rich Lowry. Truly, what was the effect of the Clinton Presidency? Rich Lowry, keen observer of politics and editor of the National Review, takes a fair and straightforward view of the Clinton Years. His cogent analysis is not flattering to William Jefferson Clinton. Foreign policy was allowed to slide so that the country was left vulnerable to terrorist attack. Korea was pandered to and allowed to become a dangerous nuclear power. The economy was left to float on the benefits accrued from the work of previous administrations. Even the pro-active welfare reform was the work of someone else. Energy and intellect was largely wasted in policies formulated by polling numbers. The Clinton administration merely rode the wave of history leaving the tough decisions for his predecessor and successor. Legacy will, perhaps, be the final word on the Clinton years.

Dereliction of Duty: The Eyewitness Account of How Bill Clinton Endangered America's Long-Term National Security, by Robert Patterson. For two years Colonel Patterson was ordered to stay close to President Clinton. It was Colonel Patterson who carried the famous briefcase that could launch a nuclear war. In this position, the Colonel had plenty of opportunity to observe the way the Clinton administration treated the military as well as national defense. The story is not pretty, yet it is a story that must be told and read, revealing once again that the character of the man in the White House does, indeed, make a difference.

Sell Out: The Inside Story of President Clinton's Impeachment, by David P. Schippers, Alan P. Henry. Perhaps the most eye-opening book to come along in that last decade. David Shippers was the Chief Investigative Counsel for the Clinton Impeachment. In no uncertain terms he lets us know what went on behind closed doors in the "mistrial" of the century. Readers will be dismayed and angered to find out how the dignity of the Senate was used as a cloak to protect its members from doing their duty under the constitution and from facing the political windstorm that would have been the result of a fair and honest trial. This book is a must read for anyone interested in how the levers of politics "really" function.

An Affair of State: The Investigation, Impeachment, and Trial of President Clinton, by Richard A. Posner. This is the first of many books likely to come out about the Impeachment of President Clinton. It will also likely be the best. Richard Posner is an appelate court judge, a lecturer at the University of Chicago Law School, an author, a thinker of some note and most recently, the mediator in the Microsoft anti-trust case. In "An Affair of State" he has produced a dispassionate yet piercing work that not only recounts the events of the Clinton impeachment trial but comments on each event's likely impact and its meaning for the present state of law and culture. He sorts out the tangled mess that resulted from the fact that the scandal "involved a public lie about a private matter". It has been said that "History" will be the final judge of President Clinton, the first jurist has now spoken.

"And why should Caesar be a tyrant then? Poor man! I know he would not be a wolf, but that he sees the Romans are but sheep: he were no lion, were not the Romans hinds. Those that with haste will make a mighty fire begin it with weak straws: what trash is Rome, what rubbish, what offal, when it serves for the base matter to illuminate so vile a thing as Caesar!"
Cassius to Casca, from Act I; Scene III of Shakespeare's Julius Caesar.
