About this ebook
Go beyond the headlines of the Clinton-Lewinsky scandal and revisit the story of Monica Lewinsky in this authorized biography from Andrew Morton, the basis for the FX miniseries Impeachment.
Monica Lewinsky. You know her name, you know her face, and you think you know her story: the pretty young intern who began an illicit affair with the President of the United States-- a liaison that ignited an unprecedented political scandal and found Bill Clinton as the second U.S. president to ever be impeached. But there is much more to the Monica Lewinsky story than just that. Andrew Morton, author of the #1 New York Times bestseller, Diana: Her True Story, takes you behind the headlines and the sound bites to discover the real Monica Lewinsky, a woman as interesting, intelligent, and misunderstood as they come.
Read Monica's Story and you'll discover:
* How a difficult childhood shaped Monica's tumultuous adult romances
* Her relationship with Bill Clinton: how she saw a side to him few know-- and why she sometimes still missed her "Handsome"
* The betrayal by Linda Tripp-- and how Monica's trusting nature snared her in Tripp's treacherous web
* The horror of Kenneth Starr's exhaustive and intrusive inquiry-- how it affected her and her family, and how it still haunts her
* What Monica's hopes were, in the wake of the scandal, from career plans, to marrying, and family life.
* And much, much more
With sixteen pages of photographs.

- Rating: 1 out of 5 stars1/5Manipulative. Childish. Pathetic. Book poorly written and with little facts.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5This is a very human look at a woman who is very human. Compassionate and readable, this book gives the reader a look inside the scandal. We all have faults, most of our faults are not on display for the whole world to see and judge. Fascinating and devourable.
