My Life is, as the dust jacket proclaims, "the strikingly candid portrait of a global leader who decided early in life to devote his intellectual and political gifts, and his extraordinary capacity for hard work, to serving the public." In these pages, 42nd president of the United States Bill Clinton writes about his difficult upbringing in Arkansas, protesting the Vietnam war, meeting and starting a family with Hilary, ascending to the positions of Arkansas governor and president of the United States, and the highlights and challenges of his presidency, including his infamous impeachment in 1998. Published only three years after Clinton left office (1993 - 2001), the book was a best-seller, selling more than 2.3 million copies. The audiobook edition earned Clinton a Grammy for Best Spoken Word Album. Item #BCL001
