Citizen : my life after the White House
Description
Bill CLINTON. Citizen : my life after the White House. London : Penguin Books, 2025, vi, 446p.
On 20th January 2001, after nearly 30 years in politics - 8 of as President of the United States - Bill Clinton was suddenly a private citizen. Only 54 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 a 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 chronicle of his post-presidential years and the most significant events of the twenty-first century.
