Alter Egos: Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, and the Twilight Struggle Over American Power Audiobook (Free)

A deeply-reported, firsthand account of how Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton attended to embody two competing visions for the role of america in the world–and what that means for the 2016 presidential election. NY Times White Home correspondent Mark Landler will go behind the speeches and press meetings, to the problem Room debates and picnic-table lunches, where Obama and Clinton honed their two contending worldviews: his, cautious, inward-looking, suffused with a feeling of limitations; hers, muscular, optimistic, unabashedly old-fashioned. Alter Egos is about two ambitious politics archrivals from very different backgrounds who became partners for a time, trailblazers who share a good sense of their traditional future but who hold fundamentally different values about how to project American power. With all the current sweep of a grand history-and enlivened by an insider’s gain access to and plenty of news-Landler digs deep into the complex relationship between both of these leaders and provides us a different way to think about Obama’s legacy and Clinton’s promise.
