 希拉里·克林顿———为政治而生  



希拉里·克林顿在美国一直是一个很有争议性的人物。纽约一位政治观察家丹·格林伯格曾评价到，“对于希拉里，人们或爱或恨，但决没有中间路线。” 



在希拉里的狂热追随者眼中她是一位勇敢的妻子、一位性感的女人、一位充满智慧的 

女强人。而在她的政敌眼中，希拉里则是一个虚伪狡诈、老于世故和政治伎俩的女人。但是无论是她的政敌还是狂热追随者都不得不折服于她的公众影响力。而且根据种种迹象表明，她也许是最有可能成为美国第一位女总统的候选人。 



希拉里·克林顿是美国的第42任总统比尔·克林顿的夫人。当年“莱温斯基事件”使全世界的人们对这位饱尝“背叛”滋味的女人充满同情，但是，对政治满怀激情的这位前第一夫人，在政治上的成就又不得不令人刮目相看。甚至，很多人在想，如果希拉里不是女性，那么她很有可能取代克林顿，成为美国的总统，如果她当年未嫁给克林顿，成为踏入白宫红地毯的第一夫人，那么她的政治之路也许会比现在更为顺畅。可以说，希拉里，就是为政治而生的一个人。

 Book Description 

"I don't quit. I keep going." 

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　–Hillary Rodham Clinton 



She is, quite simply, the most famous, most complex, most　loved/hated/admired/reviled woman -- perhaps person -- in America. And, whether she fulfills her life's ambition or not, she can already lay claim to being the first woman ever considered a serious contender for the presidency. 



From the beginning, there have been the inevitable comparisons to Argentina's legendary Eva Perón. Sex, power, money, lies, scandal, tragedy, and betrayal were the things that defined the lives of both women. Yet most of what we know about Hillary Rodham Clinton is seen in the context of her tumultuous marriage to the 42nd President. Now a power in the Senate, Hillary waits for the right moment to make her own run for the White House. 



In the style of his #l New York Times bestsellers The Day Diana Died and The Day John Died, as well as Jack and Jackie, Jackie After Jack, George and Laura and Sweet Caroline, Christopher Andersen draws on important sources -- many speaking here for the first time -- to paint a startling portrait of America's most controversial woman. Among the revelations: 



*How U.S. history has been shaped -- and will continue to be shaped -- by the arrangement between Hillary and Bill known as "The Plan." 

* Important new details about the role Hillary played in the scandalous eleventh hour pardons of armed radicals, drug dealers, tax cheats, embezzlers, money launderers and more. 

* How the outgoing First Lady registered like a bride at a gift store and left the White House with $400,000 worth of "gifts" belonging to the American people. 

* How JFK Jr. almost thwarted her Senate plans. 

* New details about Hillary's relationship with Vince Foster. 

* How Hillary has coped with Bill's hundreds of affairs, and the new women in her husband's life. 

* What Martha Stewart did for Hillary, and how Hillary repaid her. 

* How Hillary is using the 2004 elections as a springboard to her own future presidential candidacy—regardless of who wins. 



Whatever the ultimate judgment of history, the ongoing saga of Hillary Clinton's inexorable rise to power continues to stir passions, and to make her the American Evita.

Early on, relates Christopher Andersen in American Evita, Bill and Hillary Clinton created "The Plan"---an arrangement in which the Clintons would reverse roles once he was out of office and Mr. Clinton would help his wife reach her ultimate goal: the presidency. Now that Mrs. Clinton is a Senator from New York, the second part of The Plan is in effect, and regaining the White House is only part of it--if elected president, Mrs. Clinton would also, according to Andersen, work to get her husband installed as a Supreme Court Justice. It becomes clear over the course of this book that Mrs. Clinton was the guiding hand during her husband's two terms, including heading up the near-constant damage control required as a result of a string of scandals and her husband's reckless behavior. This was not done out of loyalty to her husband, Andersen stresses, but because she recognized that she needed to save him in order to further her own career later on. Though much of the information in this book has been printed before, Andersen does offer tantalizing new details about Mrs. Clinton's long-running affair with Vince Foster, the numerous pardons of criminals that were made in the final days of the Clinton administration in order to help Mrs. Clinton's Senate bid, her self-serving actions in the wake of the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, and her efforts to constantly upstage the 2004 Democratic nominees for president, particularly John Kerry. Part of the reason for doing this, Andersen maintains, is that she actually wants the Democrats to lose the presidential election in 2004 in order to better set the stage for her own run in 2008. One cannot read this book without being struck by the fact that nearly every move Mrs. Clinton has made over the past 30 years has been calculated, and in this regard American Evita is a fascinating depiction of "the most famous, most controversial, most complex, most loved-hated-admired-reviled woman---perhaps person---in America."
