How better to do this than by presenting the issues in the context of an impeachment trial--a "political science fiction" that projects what could happen, based on the facts we already know? This book does just that, dramatizing the events, using real-life characters appearing under their own names.媒体推荐It should be said straight out thatThe Impeachment of William Jefferson Clintonis not for the politically fainthearted. It is about thinking the unthinkable--and making it seem plausible.... Mr. Tyrrell's book, which is part fact and part fiction, reminds us that there is more at stake here than mere media sensationalism or partisan bickering. It gathers together the key facts of a growing number of abuses of power--a constitutional matter. It pulls material from news reports, congressional hearings and subpoenaed documents. Then it moves forward to 1998 and shifts into a fictional mode, deftly creating possible political actions and media commentary, weaving a plausible and disturbing case for impeachment.... Is the evidence compelling? The book says, "You decide." What is engaging aboutThe Impeachment of William Jefferson Clintonis the use of mystery and fantasy to draw the reader into examining the disturbing political question of impeachment. And there are reasons not to dismiss this "nonfiction novel" out of hand. --The Wall Street Journal, Martin Anderson
