In this book journalists Joe Conason and Gene Lyons seeks to uncover the truth behind the millions of dollars that went into investigating the former President and First Lady between 1989 and 1999, culminating in the Monica Lewinsky scandal, the Kenneth Starr report and Clinton's impeachment. When Hillary Clinton spoke of "a vast, right-wing conspiracy" determined to bring down the President, her husband, many people simply dismissed the idead. Yet the fact that have emerged since then strongly suggest a concerted, covert effort by Bill Clinton's enemies to discredit him, aided by his own reckless behaviour. In 1989, Republican National Commitee chairman Lee Atwater first perceived the young Arkansas governor as a threat to Republican control of the White House, and the results was a cascade of well-financed attacks that undermined American democracy and nearly destroyed the Clinton presidency.

Review:
"Multitudes of historians will write multitudes of books--but a hundred years from now the primary source on the so-called Clinton scandals will still be The Hunting of the President by Joe Conason and Gene Lyons." --James Carville
"The true story of those pursuing imagined demons is more entertaining and instructive than the fevered fantasies spun to frighten us...On the Clinton scandals, this is the book by which to judge all others." --The Denver Post
"It is a dense, penetrating...walk down the back alleys of what Hillary Clinton famously called a 'vast right-wing conspiracy'...Dogged and thorough." --The Boston Globe
"It's frightening to realize how easily a loose cabal of often well-financed Clinton haters manipulated a press overly distrustful of government. This [is an] eminently readable and thorough--as well as thoroughly maddening--study." --Seattle Weekly
"If you want to know what's really been going on, you have a good book here...you have the Joe Conascon and Gene Lyons book which explains how this all happened." --President Bill Clinton (speaking of Whitewater)
