Book Description:
Recounts how an improper relationship and broken confidences led to threats of jail, public humiliation, and prejudgement in the media.
Imagine that you are twenty-four years old and have been confiding in one of your closest friends about your on-again, off-again relationship with a married man twice your age. Then imagine your name is Monica Lewinsky, the man's name is Bill Clinton, and your friend's name is Linda Tripp--who has secretly tape-recorded your confidences and passed the tapes along to Kenneth Starr. Suddenly you find yourself surrounded by government agents who threaten you with twenty-seven years in jail if you do not tell them every detail of your private life and cooperate fully in their investigation of the President.
Monica was compelled to answer the grand jury's questions, but it was to Andrew Morton that she unfolded the whole story of her experiences before, during, and after the White House scandal. The result is a candid, intimate biography of a young woman whose life holds some surprising secrets--and whose public image is very different from the private truths revealed in these pages.

Seems to be told mostly from Monica's perspective; still, a good read. I think the poor, naive girl was really in love with Mr. President.

A good read; opened my eyes to the other side of
the story. One of those books I could not put down.

I didn't remember a lot about this scandal. Hard to believe I know, but I just didn't follow it. Read the book just recently though and enjoyed it very much.

I found this book vapid. Here Bill Clinton gets (almost) impeached for extramarital sex in the White House, an affair that didn't hurt anyone but himself and Hilary (maybe. We don't know what kind of "arrangement" Bill and Hilary had)yet now we have a president who lied us into a war that has killed thousands, illegally spies on American citizens, gives tax cuts to the peopkle who need them the least and has a disdain for the Constitution, calling it a "godamned piece of paper".
I did not find this book interesting or enlightening. Nor have I found a reason why GWBush literally gets away with murder while Bill Clinton was stalked by the GOP every minute of his presidency! Go figure!
I am reading this one right now, and it's wonderful--- provides a very accurite and fun insight to the scandal of the President and Monica Lewinsky.
"But have we heard the true story?
Betrayed by Linda Tripp, Monica found herself a pawn in the power struggle between President Clinton and the Office of the Independent Counsel. As she waited to face the grand jury investigating the President, the media conducted its own trial of Monica, while her legal predicament prevented her from telling the world what really happened.
Monica's Story at last sets the record straight. Drawing on his exclusive conversations with Monica, her family, and her friends, bestselling biographer Andrew Morton paints a complex and compelling portrait of a generous-hearted but troubled young woman whose dreams of romance had unimaginable consequences.
Monica was compelled to answer the grand jury's questions, but it was to Andrew Morton that she unfolded the whole story of her experiences before, during, and after the White House scandal.
The result is a candid, intimate biography of a young woman whose life holds some surprising secrets--and whose public image is very different from the private truths revealed in these pages." amazon
