Synopsis
Packed with news-making disclosures and secret documents
published here for the first time, Toobin unravels the three
strands of a national scandal -- those leading from Paula
Jones, Kenneth Starr, and Monica Lewinsky -- that created a
legal, personal, and political disaster for Bill Clinton. A
Vast Conspiracy is written with the narrative drive of a
sensational (if improbable) legal thriller, and Toobin
brilliantly explores the high principle and low comedy that
were the hallmarks of the story. From Tripp to Goldberg,
Isikoff to Hyde, the complex and tangled motivations behind
the scandal are laid bare.
