Bøger af Bill Clinton

Det er ikke hver dag en tidligere præsident samarbejder med en bestsellerforfatter om at udgive en vaskeægte thriller, som tilbyder indsigt i verdens absolut mest magtfulde korridorer. Ikke desto mindre er det præcis, hvad Bill Clinton og James Patterson har gjort i den skræmmende page-turner “Præsidenten er forsvundet”. Der er stor krise i USA. En internetvirus truer med at sende landet tilbage til primitive tider, og da den amerikanske præsident forsvinder, opstår massivt kaos og læseren er med, når præsidenten befinder sig midt i det store drama. Det er en spændingsromanen med et gennemtænkt plot, og truslen om en internetvirus er både sandsynlig, virkelighedsnær og dybt foruroligende. Det geniale samarbejde mellem præsident og forfatter har muliggjort en spændende fortælling, som giver et helt unikt indblik i livet bag væggene i Det Hvide Hus.

A powerful, candid, and richly detailed memoir from an American icon, revealing what life looks like after presidency: triumphs, tribulations, and all.On January 20th, 2001, after nearly thirty years in politics—eight of them as President of the United States—Bill Clinton was suddenly a private citizen. Only fifty-four years old, full of energy and ideas, he wanted to make meaningful use of his skills, his relationships with world leaders, and all he’d learned in a lifetime of politics, but how? Just days after leaving the White House, the call came to aid victims of a devastating earthquake in India, and Clinton hit the ground running. Over the next two decades, he would create an enduring legacy of public service and advocacy work, from Indonesia to Louisiana, Northern Ireland to South Africa, and in the process reimagine philanthropy and redefine the impact a former president could have on the world.Citizen is Clinton’s front-row, first-person chronicle of his post-presidential years and the most significant events of the twenty-first century, including 9/11 and the runup to the Iraq War, the Haiti earthquake, the Great Recession, COVID-19, the January 6th insurrection, and the enduring culture wars of our times. Yet Citizen is more than a presidential memoir. These pages capture Clinton in a rare and unforgettable light: not only as celebrated former president and foundation leader, but also as a father, grandfather, and husband. He shares his support for Hillary Clinton during her tenure as senator, secretary of state, and presidential candidate, and openly details the frustration and pain of the 2016 election.With clarity and compassion, President Clinton also weighs in on the unprecedented challenges brought on by a global pandemic, ongoing inequality, a steadily warming planet, and authoritarian forces dedicated to weakening democracy. In this landmark publication, the highly anticipated follow-up to the best-selling My Life, Clinton pens a clear-sighted account of American democracy on a global stage, offering a frank reflection on the past and, with it, a fearless embrace of our future. Citizen is a testament to one man’s unwavering commitment to family and nation, a self-portrait of equal parts eloquence, insight, and candor.

At give er en inspirerende gennemgang af, hvordan vi hver især kan være med til at ændre verden. Bill Clinton fortæller om en række usædvanlige og nyskabende initiativer, som for øjeblikket tages af virksomheder og organisationer - og af enkeltpersoner - for at løse problemer og redde liv. Disse helt utrolige historier viser, at det at give tid, færdigheder, ting og ideer er lige så vigtigt og effektivt som at bidrage med penge.Bill Clintons egen indsats, efter at han forlod præsidentposten, har haft enorm betydning for millioner af mennesker. Via sin fond og sit arbejde i kølvandet på tsunamien i Asien og orkanen Katrina er han blevet en international talsmand og rollemodel for, hvor meget det kan betyde, at man giver.

Det nye årtusinde begyndte med et økonomisk boom og wirtschaftswunder – så ramte krisen USA og forplantede sig som en chokbølge gennem resten af verden. I Tilbage til arbejdet kortlægger Bill Clinton årsagerne til finanskrisen og analyserer de tiltag, der skal til, hvis vi igen skal opnå fremgang og skabe solid vækst for fremtiden. Én af spillerne i at få den kabale til at gå op er staten, og Bill Clinton viser, hvordan republikanernes indædte modstand mod statslig indgriben har været kraftigt medvirkende til krisen og den manglende vækst. Løsningen ligger ikke i økonomien alene, den er i høj grad flettet sammen med en krise i det politiske system, en krise, der har ramt Barack Obama og demokraterne hårdt, og Clinton går i clinch med de spørgsmål, som har plaget hans eget parti siden midtvejsvalget i 2010.
