520    "Twenty years after the Starr Report and the Clinton 
       impeachment, former special prosecutor Ken Starr shares 
       his definitive account of one of the most divisive periods
       in American history. You could fill a library with books 
       about the scandals of the Clinton administration, which 
       eventually led to President Clinton's impeachment by the 
       House of Representatives. Bill and Hillary Clinton have 
       told their version of events, as have various journalists 
       and participants. Whenever liberals recall those years, 
       they usually depict independent counsel Ken Starr as an 
       out-of-control, politically driven prosecutor. But as a 
       New York Times columnist asked in 2017, "What if Ken Starr
       was right?" What if the popular media in the 1990s 
       completely misunderstood Starr's motives, his tactics, and
       his ultimate goal: to ensure that no one, especially not 
       the president of the United States, is above the law? 
       Starr--the man at the eye of the hurricane--has kept his 
       unique perspective to himself for two full decades. In 
       this long-awaited memoir, he finally sheds light on 
       everything he couldn't tell us during the Clinton years, 
       even in his carefully detailed "Starr Report" of September
       1998. Contempt puts you, the reader, into the shoes of 
       Starr and his team as they tackle the many scandals of 
       that era, from Whitewater to Vince Foster's death to 
       Travelgate to Monica Lewinsky. Starr explains in vivid 
       detail how all those scandals shared a common thread: the 
       Clintons' contempt for our system of justice. This book 
       proves that Bill and Hillary Clinton weren't victims of a 
       so-called "vast right-wing conspiracy." They played fast 
       and loose with the law and abused their powers and 
       privileges"--|cProvided by publisher.
