"Just as the necessary qualification for a good liar is a good memory, so the essential equipment of a would-be lie detector is a good timeline, and a decent archive."

In No One Left to Lie To, a New York Times best seller, Christopher Hitchens casts an unflinching eye on the Clinton political machine and offers a searing indictment of a president who sought to hold power at any cost. With blistering wit and meticulous documentation, Hitchens masterfully deconstructs Clinton's abject propensity for pandering to the Left while delivering to the Right, and he argues that the president's personal transgressions were ultimately inseparable from his political corruption.

Hitchens questions the president's refusals to deny accusations of rape by reputable women and lambasts, among numerous impostures, his insistence on playing the race card, the shortsightedness of his welfare bill, his ludicrous war on drugs, and his abandonment of homosexuals in the form of the Defense of Marriage Act.

Opportunistic statecraft, crony capitalism, "divide and rule" identity politics, and populist manipulations-these are perhaps Clinton's greatest and most enduring legacies.

An incredible book about the permanent loss of ethical government in our country. Hitchens was a superhuman writer and thinker.

A classic of our times

Background, I'm a libertarian with no dog in the political fight. Hitchens is a contrarian, he is a gifted writer who's fundamental beliefs are different than my own. He nailed it with this book. He details the corruption of the "clintonoids". I was amazed at how much the media and fellow democrats enable(d) these creeps. NBC withheld the rape story until after the election, and are obviously in the tank for Hillary now. They witheld the Donald audio so they could have an October surprise. They were complicit in minimizing Bernie! history repeating itself. We deserve a better choice. but i digress. . A few things that I was not fully aware of, Bill Clinton is most likely a rapist. Hitchens does insinuate that Bill's victims might have their day... which the buffoon Donald helped make happen the other night. He details how Clinton inc.. goes after and threatens their opponents and fellow democrats who don't fall in line. likewise their ability to prostitute themselves for money, and for a mere 25k to the Pakistanis. It's truly depressing that we are likely gojng to have 4 years of them again in the white house. At this moment the wh. staff are putting new locks on the Lincoln bedroom. The book is a great listen, it's not from a political hack like most "journalism " on the right and left today. I hate politics with a passion, i was afraid I'd be bummed out by hearing this, but i found myself enjoying this disturbing summation. Just get it, you'll enjoy

Nothing but the truth

A very informative book and an eye opener for contemporary Americans. However not Hitchens' best work.

A concise hit piece on America's worst president

The prose tends to be oblique for the American ear but more aligned with an Oxbridge education. Nevertheless, the sarcasm is pure Hitchens and enjoyable when listened to slowly

The revelations about the actual history of the Clintons

Anything Christopher Hitchens writes, I endorse! I wish you were here now too give his thoughts on how America is going to crumble under the new regime. When Christopher speaks, I listen. I miss his wisdom but I'm enjoying his books again.

Christopher hitchens is so wise and compassionate. I wish I had the pleasure of having met him.

As someone who was a teen through much of the period of Bill Clinton's presidency, it is fascinating to revisit Hitchens' 'No One Left to Lie to' as it feels like almost an alternate history of events relative to my media and time-softened memory of the era. At the time I was aware of some of the major transgressions he was accused of and understood, on an abstract level perhaps, that he might not be the charming, affable, and decent sort that he otherwise presented himself as.

Hitchens clearly had a much closer and a much deeper view of the president and his wife and his writing throughout this book is filled with abject contempt for Bill Clinton as an absolute monster of a human, with Hillary being little (if any) better. He makes a detailed and compelling case (if one that doesn't turn to supporting fact very much - perhaps the written version is filled with footnotes?) that both of them were serious criminals, many times over, and in many different areas. I imagine it would be very hard to listen to the entirety of this book and walk away believing that either a suitable individual to be president, (or in Hilary's case the nominee for president).

Detail-rich, and wide-ranging critique. Compelling

I love most discoveries of unearthed truth and rational, by this late great Orator.

truth told by one of thee most eloquent. Mr Hitch

I miss Hitch. He is a writer and truth teller like no other. Now where can I find Part 2 of the switch of the Dem party? One phrase in particular which I will paraphrase, the democracy originally intended is no more.

We the people are nothing unless we choose to see truth.

Great book.

If the DNC had read this book, it would have tapped into some of the reasons Hillary should NEVER have been their nominee.

DNC Should Have Read This

Bear with Hitchens. As the man himself said "if you care about something. you'd better be prepared to be boring about it.

The criminal wrong doing and amorality of the Clinton administration has been almost entirely forgotten. His administration marks the point in history that set the stage for moral monstrosities like Trump to be tolerated and even successful in American politics. This book is incredibly valuable in that it shows us how we first went wrong.

Dry, but extraordinarily valuable.
