Working behind the scenes for the 18 months following Bill's election, Bob Woodward has discovered how the Clinton White House really works. In The Agenda, he offers one of the most intimate portraits of a sitting president ever published, taking us not only to the highest level meetings, the hard-fought debates, and most difficult decisions but also to the very heart of this presidency -- and of this man. In a day-by-day, at times minute-by-minute, account, President Clinton is shown debating, scolding, pleading, celebrating, and raging in anger and frustration. What emerges also is a group portrait of Clinton's innermost circle of advisers in action -- including his wife Hillary, Vice President Al Gore, Treasury Secretary Lloyd Bentsen and the economic team, the White House staff, and outside political strategists. In this gripping audio adaptation, The Agenda reveals the deep and still unsettled conflicts among Clinton's advisers and within himself -- on the questions that affect every person in this country.
