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.

Outstanding
The view that we have depends upon where we sit! Hitchens as ever looks for the truth and provides the story behind the story, corruption to some is seen as a means to an end, exposing such behaviour hopefully will one day discourage others from this course, Unfortunately the reality is that within the circles of power they all follow the money, some worse than others!

slightly outdated but a good insight into clinton
UK 98' baby, so feels a bit older to me than some, still gives a good idea of the politics of the time and explains a lot of the anti Clinton sentiment seen during the 2016 election. hitchens as always a missed treasure.

A real eye opener
As a previous fan of the Clintons, this book has thoroughly demolished what I once thought to be true. Even if only some of it is true, it casts both Bill and Hilary in a whole new light. It also goes some way to explain why Hilary lost to Trump.

A very interesting book and relevant now.
Would you listen to No One Left to Lie To again? Why?
Yes, because I would need to hear the details again in order to understand the argument.
Who was your favorite character and why?

Which scene did you most enjoy?
Not applicable
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
I found some aspects of these events made me angry, and sorry that justice was probably never done. Also it made me re-appraise my views on BOTH the Clintons, and their entourage.

Great book - slightly soporific reading!
Where does No One Left to Lie To rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
Not the best book for listening to on the move!
What other book might you compare No One Left to Lie To to, and why?
The Misionary Position, by Christopher Hitchens.
Did the narration match the pace of the story?
Yes.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
No, better in shorter chunks otherwise you have overwhelming detail.
Any additional comments?
It's a very detailed argument with lots of new information being introduced rapidly, it requires you to concentrate to keep up or you have to keep going back.

Was there a rapist in the Whitehouse?
Bill Clinton continues to be one of the USA's most popular Presidents. However, Hitchens suggests that behind the facade Clinton was a sexual predator who was prepared to use air-strikes on innocent targets in order to deflect attention from his sexual and financial scandals. This is a well-argued, well-evidenced book that strips away the handsome Rhode scholar image and allows the reader to see the rancid underbelly of a manipulative, bullying, self-fixated individual.

Brilliant and revelatory
Never less than a pleasure to hear such brilliant writing. Interesting that, on investigation, so many successful politicians are found to be corrupt, and sad that we are so easily taken in.
