About this listen

"Just as the necessary qualification for a good liar is a good memory, so the essential equipment of a would-be lie detector is a good timeline, and a decent archive." In No One Left to Lie to, a New York Times best seller, Christopher Hitchens casts an unflinching eye on the Clinton political machine and offers a searing indictment of a president who sought to hold power at any cost. With blistering wit and meticulous documentation, Hitchens masterfully deconstructs Clinton's abject propensity for pandering to the Left while delivering to the Right, and he argues that the president's personal transgressions were ultimately inseparable from his political corruption.

Hitchens questions the president's refusals to deny accusations of rape by reputable women and lambasts, among numerous impostures, his insistence on playing the race card, the shortsightedness of his welfare bill, his ludicrous war on drugs, and his abandonment of homosexuals in the form of the Defense of Marriage Act. Opportunistic statecraft, crony capitalism, "divide and rule" identity politics, and populist manipulations - these are perhaps Clinton's greatest and most enduring legacies.

I Miss Hitch

This book is typical of Hitchens...well-reasoned arguments, dogged confidence in his position, and a spectacular vocabulary. Hitchens makes solid points in this book about the Clintons, but his antipathy is clear. Disdain for the Clintons shows through in this damning text. It's clear that Hitchens is attacking, but still somehow does it without coming across as venomous. His intelligence and painstaking word-choice risks crossing over into pretension, but he does, for the most part, a fair job of straddling the line. Hitchens is clearly well-read, and eloquent beyond the norm. But the verbosity and unrelenting scorn does get a little annoying at times. Simon Prebble is a fair reader at best, but his accent, while a bit prissy, fits the material well. I give this book 6 out of 10 stars.
