First published 1998
Independent Counsel Kenneth Starr opens his files to reveal the complete evidence behind his explosive Congressional report. The book contains secret testimony from President Clinton and Monica Lewinsky that was previously withheld from public view. Starr assembles the full documentary record of his investigation, including private email exchanges, the FBI laboratory analysis of Lewinsky's dress, and a personal diary Lewinsky kept during the scandal. The Washington Post's Pulitzer Prize-winning journalists provide additional analysis and reporting context. While Starr's original report attempted to explain the events, this collection allows Clinton, Lewinsky, and other key figures to speak directly through their own testimony and private communications. The book presents the raw materials that shaped one of the most significant political scandals in American history.
