Book Presentation: Because He Could by Dick Morris and Eileen McGann

Book Abstract

In Because He Could, Dick Morris and Eileen McGann set out to present their view of the complicated and sometimes dysfunctional former president Bill Clinton. The authors attempt to show how Clinton inadvertently reveals himself at every turn – as both brilliant and undisciplined; charming and yet just as often filled with rage; willing to take risks in his personal life, but deeply reluctant to use the military to protect our national security.

Morris and McGann try to set the record straight on Bill Clinton by deconstructing the story Clinton tells and presenting the many more revealing stories he leaves untold.

Summary of Because He Could (Dick Morris and Eileen McGann)

Cracking the Clinton Code

Bill Clinton is a study in opposites. For example, he was one of the most popular and successful presidents in modern history. Yet, at the same time, he was disgraced by his transgressions in office, becoming the second president to be impeached by the House of Representatives. His intellect, charm, and charisma captivate even the most skeptical observers, but his moodiness, temper, self-absorption and lack of discipline make him an easy target for his critics. So curious are Americans about who Bill Clinton really is that his memoir, My Life, sold more than a million copies in its first weeks.

My Life is a metaphor for Bill Clinton himself – sometimes refreshingly open, sometimes fascinating and sometimes interesting. Yet, just as often, it is incomplete, misleading, superficial and inconsistent. In order to find the real Clinton within the pages of this memoir, it’s important to understand the Clinton Code – correlating what Clinton says (or doesn’t say) with other data and experience and reconciling the obvious differences. Without that code, we cannot understand all of the former president’s strengths and failings, unique abilities and his countervailing limitations as they are exposed in his book.

Because He Could offers an attempt to correct, explain, elaborate upon, contextualize and rebut the spin in Clinton’s memoirs. This mission is compelling, perhaps even urgent, should Clinton’s sometimes distorted version of events harden into accepted historical “fact.” Much of the task of this book is not to debunk Clinton’s claims, but to explore them more completely than he has. Additionally, as much as we need to hear the truth about Clinton’s failures, it’s equally important that we understand how his successes really came about. In Because He Could
