![]() ![]() ![]() I'm no fan of the Clintons, and I would have been happy if the story told here had any kind of credibility, but it simply doesn't. Joe Klein was not an insider in the campaign, and it is dubious whether the novel gives anything other than a somewhat interesting story extrapolating from the worst aspects of the personas of both Clintons and applying them to the Stantons. When published, many people regarded it as an expose of the inner workings of the Clinton administration, taking the "Anonymous" author to be an insider in the administration who didn't want to suffer personal recriminations. The book was originally published under the pseudonym "Anonymous", but quite a while back it was revealed that the actual author was journalist Joe Klein, which, given Klein's somewhat strained relationship with the truth as a reporter, doesn't add a whole lot to the credibility of the novel.
