Enjoyable political reading

My husband and I read the Complete Idiot's guide about the impeachment of the President of United States. We have disagreed about issues surrounding this subject for months. We decided to read the book together and discuss it as we went along. The authors spoke volumes to the issues giving my husband and I plenty of points to discuss. We enjoyed the book very much and have passed it along to our friends. We hope these two authors will continue to write more books along the same vein...we look forward to reading more.

It all makes sense now!

I have just finished reading The Complete Idiot's Guide to theImpeachment of the President. I was anxious to know more and makesense of all of the media mess, but found the newspapers and the television reports so predjudice in their condemnations. I found this book in the bookstore, and felt it was just what I was looking for to help sort things out. The authors brought the evidence to light in a clear and concise manner without beating around the bush. Unfortunately, that sort of hard hitting, non-bias fact finding, isnt what a lot of people want to hear. I found the book well thought out and very straight forward. I also found it to be an easy read that finally made sense of all of the confusing media mess. I would recommend this book to any student of political science or the lay person wanting to know more. I give this book four stars! END

Very interesting and even-handed

I liked it a lot. I thought the authors did a good job of presenting both sides of the story. That it very occasionally tilts in Clinton's favor only reflects what most people think about this case. The authors pretty much slam Clinton, Starr and Congress equally. Easy to read and fun too.

Delightfully entertaining as well as enlightening work.

I found this to be a fun and quick read. The topic is complex, yet it is easily broken down into the essential points, referencing the historical, political and people issues that are part of the biggest soap opera playing right now.I was pleasantly surprised to see real discussions of the players involved, above the two dimensional roles we tend to give them. And it was done with humor, pathos, and lightness.The more involved work was made very easy to 'digest' and put the entire impeachment process in perspective. This has made the news at night so much more enjoyable now that I have a feel for this whole matter, the stakes involved for the President, Starr, the Inquiry Panel, and those other people whose names we now know. I've recommended the book to several friends. And attorneys. And my own pundit friends. Whether it's for perspective and information, or just some of the most interesting quotes, scandals and personal quirks previously not known, this book was a great read.

A thoughtful and informative book. Very even-handed.

Fair and balanced, this book looks at the impeachment process through an analytical eye.
