Voici le portrait saisissant de vérité de Bill Clinton, l'un des plus grands dirigeants mondiaux, qui a très tôt décidé de consacrer ses talents intellectuels et politiques, ainsi que son extraordinaire force de travail à servir son peuple.
Ce livre retrace l'ascension improbable d'un homme qui, grâce à son énergie et à son talent, a réussi le parcours inouï de sa petite ville de Hope, dans l'Arkansas, jusqu'à la Maison Blanche. On y découvre un homme habité par la passion effrénée pour la politique, la détermination à améliorer la vie de ses concitoyens, l'engagement en faveur de la liberté, de la justice sociale et de la paix. Orphelin de père dès avant sa naissance, pris entre une mère forte et protectrice et un beau-père violent, qu'il n'a pourtant jamais cessé d'aimer et dont il a adopté le nom, fasciné par la brillante Hillary Rodham, qu'il voulait à tout prix épouser, viscéralement attaché à sa fille Chelsea et résolu à jouer pleinement son rôle de père, cet homme a lentement et douloureusement commencé à comprendre comment le déni de ses souffrances antérieures l'a conduit parfois à adopter des comportements destructeurs.
Le grand livre du président Clinton est aussi le récit le plus complet, le plus concret et le plus nuancé qui ait jamais été écrit sur la vie quotidienne à la Maison Blanche, avec son avalanche de problèmes, ses conflits de pouvoir, ses revers et ses succès. Témoignage unique sur l'oeuvre du président Clinton en Amérique et dans le monde, c'est aussi le portrait poignant d'un président soumis aux attaques incessantes orchestrées par ses ennemis de l'extrême droite et sur la façon dont il a survécu et l'a emporté.
Une histoire qui le révèle dans toutes ses facettes et qu'il raconte de sa voix si reconnaissable, sans détour. Un document exceptionnel sur un homme d'exception.

"J'ai décidé d'écrire ce livre parce que j'aime mon pays et que je suis préoccupé par son avenir.
J'essaierai ici d'expliciter au mieux comment faire pour revigorer l'économie et sortir notre pays de l'endettement à long terme. Si nous ne sommes pas capables de retrouver une croissance forte, nous resterons prisonniers de la situation économique actuelle pendant des années et rien de ce que nous ferons ne parviendra à résoudre le problème de l'augmentation de la dette, quels que soient les moyens que nous utiliserons.
L'Amérique, c'est avant tout une idée ; c'est l'idée selon laquelle peu importe qui vous êtes ou d'où vous venez, si vous travaillez dur et que vous respectez les règles, vous aurez la liberté et la possibilité de tenter de réaliser vos rêves et de laisser à vos enfants un pays où il leur sera possible de poursuivre les leurs. Nous pouvons être le premier pays en matière d'assimilation des immigrés de toutes nations, de toutes races, de toutes religions et de toutes cultures.
Nous pouvons encore représenter un exemple d'égalité des chances et de responsabilités partagées et illustrer le génie de l'économie libérale tout en soulignant combien un Etat actif est nécessaire. Je sais que, depuis plus de deux cents ans, tous ceux qui ont parié contre les Etats-Unis ont perdu. Quant à moi, il me semble qu'une fois de plus, dans un monde résolument nouveau, nous saurons trouver la voie".

L'Amérique reste, à bien des égards, un modèle. Modèle d'une économie en croissance, modèle d'une société créatrice de millions d'emplois, modèle d'une nation réunissant hommes et femmes d'origines diverses. Aujourd'hui comme hier, elle démontre sa formidable capacité à s'adapter et à rebondir. Pour la première fois dans un livre, le président des États-Unis en exercice expose sa vision personnelle du rêve américain, un rêve qu'il entend, demain comme aujourd'hui, contribuer à transformer en réalité. Un document politique, mais aussi, sur bien des sujets, de l'éducation à la fiscalité, des choix à méditer.
