Bill Clinton remains the great American enigma. John Gartner, a practicing psychologist, unravels the mystery of Clinton's complex nature by questioning the well-crafted Clinton life story we thought we knew. Travelling through Arkansas, Gartner uncovered long-held secrets about Clinton's wild and seductive mother, Virginia Kelley, the truth surrounding Clinton's birth and how Kelley's character set the tone for Clinton's relationship with Monica Lewinsky. He considers Clinton's two fathers and how they might have contributed to his self-destructive nature and looks afresh at Secretary of State Hillary Clinton to see in her the figure of Edith Cassidy, Clinton's stern grandmother who set limits on him at an early age. "In Search Of Bill Clinton" puts our 42nd President on the couch for the first time and tells us, finally, what makes him tick.
