Paperbacks

Bile seeps from every page of this little book penned by the expatriate English journalist Christopher Hitchens. By now most people have made up their minds about Bill Clinton - and his enemies - so Hitchens's righteous indignation at Clinton's economy, indeed downright miserliness with the truth, has little impact now. Sure, Clinton (setting aside his efforts for peace on this island) may be a charming scumbag, but an evil opponent of civilisation as we know it? Read the Starr Report instead, if you wish to pursue that agenda.
