In his latest memoir, Clinton (
My Life) focuses on his post-presidential achievements. He reflects on his efforts to support people affected by the 2004 tsunami in South Asia, help restore Gulf Coast states devastated by Hurricane Katrina, and extend humanitarian relief to the residents of Haiti. Listeners will learn how Clinton has grown into his roles as a husband, father, and delighted grandfather, especially through the COVID pandemic. Narrator Steven Weber adeptly recounts the events leading up to 9/11 and the Iraq War, then elucidates how President Obama handled the Great Recession and tracked down Osama bin Laden. Clinton’s take on how Capitol Hill battles paved the way for Donald Trump’s rise to power and his observations about the Democratic Party and his wife’s 2016 presidential run offer thought-provoking insights into how current politics may affect the future.
VERDICT In this lively memoir, Clinton provides a singular account of his commitment to improving people’s lives worldwide and considered reflections on how Washington, DC, power and politics have evolved (or devolved) over the last quarter of a century. At 78, Clinton continues to lead as a public servant and effect change; this memoir is a testament to his efforts.
