Book Review: The Clintons War On Women by Roger Stone & Robert Morrow

 Hillary Clinton is running for president as an “advocate of women and girls,” but there is another shocking side to her story that has been carefully covered up—until now. This stunning exposé reveals for the first time how Bill and Hillary Clinton systematically abused women and others—sexually, physically, and psychologically—in their scramble for power and wealth. In this groundbreaking book, New York Times bestselling author Roger Stone and researcher and alternative historian Robert Morrow map the arc of Bill and Hillary’s crimes and cover-ups. They reveal details about their actions in Arkansas, during Bill Clinton’s time in the White House, about who really ordered the deadly attack on the Branch Davidian compound in Waco, during Hillary’s tenure as secretary of state, about their time at the Clinton Foundation, and during Hillary’s current campaign for president.

This is the first book to shed light on the couple’s deeply personal violations of the people they crushed in their obsessive quest for power. Along the way, Stone and Morrow reveal the family’s darkest secrets, including a Clinton family member’s drug rehab treatment that was never reported by the press, Hillary Clinton’s unusually close relationship with a top female aide, and a stunning revelation of such impact that it could strip Bill Clinton of his current popularity and derail Hillary’s push to be the second Clinton in the White House. Anyone who cares about the future of the United States will want to read this tell-all, exposing the appalling, unvarnished, and ugly truth about the Clintons.

My Review: 
I'm going to start with a disclaimer here. I have no clue how much of this book is fact or fiction, what is gossip and what can actually be proved. I love reading books about politics and politicians in the UK and US and despite my own political leanings, I like to read books about every political party and by authors who are for or against political figures from all sides. At the time Bill Clinton was in office, I of course heard the accusations about sexual harrassment/assault and saw large segments of his impeachment trial but I was certainly no expert on it. I heard about other scandals surrounding them. What I'm trying to say is that I went into this book with no bias one way or the other about the Clintons, ready to look at what was presented here with an open mind. I always look beyond what mainstream media present, do my own research and think for myself. I've read pro-Clinton books so it was time to look at another view.
 
After reading it, all I could think was that if even a third or a half of this book is true, then it is pretty shocking stuff. Everything I put in this review is to be regarded as an allegation. Lets start with the alleged sexual offences. Expelled from Oxford for sexual assault, sending three Arkansas state troopers to beat up a neighbour of mistress Gennifer Flowers because he had camera footage of Clinton visiting her, alleged rape in the 70's, sexual offences at two US universities, 7 complaints in his first term as Governor, video of sexual assault on an air hostess, rape allegations in the 90's, the Jeffrey Epstein links, the Paula Jones case, Monica, allegations from a former Miss America...the list is pretty endless. I had heard bits of it but not most of it and the sheer volume of allegations are pretty staggering.

It also alleges that any woman who might be about to come forward to expose Clinton or who had damaging information were met with a barrage of abuse and intimidation-IRS investigations, dead pets, threats to family members, house trashed, sacked from your job, damaged car, financial payoffs and offers to relocate them far away. Several women who talked to the authors recount how they were followed and threatened, with comments about their children, parents or friends being at risk. Others were discredited with smears about their private lives. Again if this is true, it is quite scary to imagine and I could understand being reluctant to come forward under those circumstances. Other women claim there were job offers to keep them quiet about anything that could be damaging.

There are also allegations of Bill being a frequent drug user and being in hospital at one time for a suspected overdose, the drug running operation through Arkansas that Clinton was involved in, the drug dealers protected by law from prosecution under Clinton and Bush, mysterious deaths of those who fell out of favour with the Clintons, secret deals with the Chinese for campaign cash, property scandals...again a lot is covered. The bit that interested me was about the CIA working with Bush Sr and Clinton to do drug running under a guise of searching for missing POWs and all making money from the drugs. It talks about who was skimming too much money, agents involved being murdered to keep things quiet, innocent civilians who saw too much being killed. It was like a film plot but was fascinating to read.
 
There are plenty allegations about Hillary as well. It says that she is responsible for the deposing of Gadaffi to install a puppet regime, encouraging rumours about Obama being gay and his lovers were murdered, the Benghazi scandal, demanding that the Waco attack went ahead, domestic abuse against Bill, her rages about his affairs, her alleged affair with a man who killed himself, the property scandals, and indicating that she was determined to smear every woman her husband targeted as being the problem rather than a victim. A couple of women discuss disturbing conversations with Hillary who seemed to despise them rather than her husband. It also looks at her unethical behaviour during her law work when she tried to change the law to stop Richard Nixon being allowed legal representation in the case.    

There is a lot more but I'm not going to go into it. If you have any interest in the Clintons, I'd suggest you maybe read the book for yourself. There is so much content and detail and a lot of allegations to wade through, that I can't possibly cover it in one review. It gets a bit mind boggling in places for sure. This book is very much going to divide opinion depending on your view of Bill and Hillary. But the one thing that does get me wondering is how some of these allegations have not had a criminal review to them. Is it a matter of not enough evidence or is it a sinister coverup? I guess readers need to make up their own minds on that one. I found this a fascinating and shocking read but I'm not going to offer an opinion on the allegations. Let each reader judge for themselves.

Read November 2020
3.5 stars.
