Hillary Rodham Clinton has pursued power with the same ruthless determination as Argentina's Eva Perón. Christopher Andersen reveals how Clinton and her husband Bill created "The Plan" that shaped American history through calculated political moves. The book exposes Clinton's role in controversial presidential pardons for criminals including armed radicals and money launderers. Andersen documents how she took $400,000 worth of White House property when leaving as First Lady. He explores her complex relationship with Vince Foster and examines how she navigated Bill's numerous affairs while building her own political career. The narrative shows how JFK Jr. nearly derailed her Senate ambitions and details her connections to Martha Stewart. Drawing from insider sources, Andersen constructs a portrait of America's first serious female presidential contender, tracing her journey from Arkansas to the national stage through scandal and controversy.
