THE CLINTON YEARS

ROBERT McNEELY - President Bill Clinton's official photographer from 1992 to 1998 - has traveled the world and roamed the halls of the White House, a virtual fly - on - the - wall, documenting the day - to - day political and private lives of President Clinton and First Lady Hillary Rodham Clinton. The Clinton Years presents in dramatic detail a behind - the - scenes look at the White House with intriguing glimpses into the personal side of Clinton's presidency.Clinton trusted McNeely's vision completely and granted him full access to the inner workings of the presidency. McNeely was Clinton's constant shadow, quietly recording for posterity the president's moods, his reactions to key moments and events, his prowess as a politican, his personal charisma and presence, and his interactions with world leaders. An intimate look at the man behind the politician, this collection also reveals Clinton's relationships with his wife, his staff, his public and the world. These striking images compel the viewer to recognize what an extraordinarily complex individual Bill Clinton is. It is more than a portrait of a president; it is an education about the presidency. The Clinton Years is an essential record of Bill Clinton's legacy.

Outstanding photos. History will forever remember Clinton.

Robert McNeely's book is quite something of its kind. What a collection of photos! What a masterpiece!! What a documentary!! History will forever remember President Clinton. Never before in my entire life have I seen such a coverage of a US President's era such as this. Well, despite Clinton's moral mistakes, which concerns only to him and to his wife and daughter, America lives today its happiest time ever. World's the stock markets feel that as well. Here's what I think: Clinton is a true leader: he's funny, clever, articulate and carismatic. Who cares about his sex life? Did he steal public money for himself? Of course not. Will we ever miss him? Yes, we will, be sure of that. Brazil thanks President Clinton for America's prosperity. Good luck in the future, Mr. President.

Classic B & W photographs that reveal many aspects of Clinton

Beautiful black and white photographs that document the many aspects of the human side of President Clinton. Each photograph tells a story, perhaps unlike the Public Relations story we have been fed.I was impressed with the nonstaged real life messages these pictures unfold. Many photographs you would otherwise never see and therefore may know of a small section of the Clinton years.As much as I enjoyed the gala events and the black tie functions that are part of this collection, I also enjoyed the more relaxed normal everyday shots. So much has been said about the marriage of Hillary and Bill Clinton, negative things, these photographs show many one on one personal moments. It would be hard to view these pictures without coming to the conclusion that these two people are quite fond of one another.Overall this documentaion of photographs shows an all around man both from a Presidential angle and from that of simply a man, a human being.Well done and makes for a nice slice of history and an excellent coffee table book. A great conversational piece!

Fabulous book!

"The Clinton Years" is a fabulous book with countless, priceless photographs of the Clinton Presidency. There are a wide variety of photographs documented in this book, which reflect Bill Clinton's leadership in the White House over the last 8 years, that are inspiring. The images of William Jefferson Clinton shown are not only in the role of President, but as an individual as well - showing the human side of our President.As they say, "a picture is worth a thousand words," that most certainly is the case with this book!

From the inside out...

The photographs in this book are quite beautiful, strong and revealing. With so much media exposure of all of our public figures, it is interesting to take a behind the scenes look at our leaders at their most relaxed as well as on the job. Clinton may have his share of flaws, but he has been a remarkable leader and his energy, enthusiasm and drive shine through in this pictorial.
