"By far the best of all the books on the Clinton era."--Edward Said, "Al-Ahram Weekly"
"Christopher Hitchens is a remarkable commentator. He jousts with fraudulence of every stripe and always wins. I regret he has only one life, one mind and one reputation to put at the service of my country."--Joseph Heller
"If Christopher Hitchens is a Marxist, I want to be one, too."--Florence King, "National Review"
"The smartest guy I've seen on TV ... the Rosetta Stone of scepticism ... the Mark McGwire of sceptics ... he makes me look like a cheerleader."--Dennis Miller, "Dennis Miller Live"
"You don't buy Christopher Hitchens's new book because you want to find out whether Bill Clinton is really as terrible a liar as some people say he is. You buy it because you know he is a terrible liar, and the invitation to have a pungent fellow like Christopher Hitchens confirm every prejudice you ever had on the subject, plus a few you might not even have known you had, is an invitation you cannot resist."--Louis Menand, "New York Times Magazine"
