Pre-Owned Pact: Bill Clinton, Newt Gingrich, and the Rivalry That Defined a Generation (Hardcover) 0195322789 9780195322781

Here is a riveting account of two of America's most influential leaders, detailing both their differences and their striking similarities, and highlighting the profound impact the 1960s had on both their personal and political lives. With the cooperation of both President Clinton and Speaker Gingrich, interviews with key players who have never before spoken about their experiences, along with unprecedented access to Gingrich's private papers, Gillon not only offersa behind-the-scenes look at the budget impasse and the government shutdown in 1995--the famous face-off between Clinton and Gingrich--but he also reveals how the two moved closer together after 1996.
