Friends in High Places Our Journey from Little Rock to Washington, D.C., by Webb Hubbell  (Click for Amazon book review) BOOK REVIEW by OnTheIssues.org: This book is a different kind of biography, because the identity of the biographer is very relevant. Webb Hubbell was a personal friend of the Clintons, from Little Rock, and ended up convicted and imprisoned while serving in the Clinton adminstration. Hence this is a biography of Bill Clinton and Hillary Clinton, from an insider's perspective, but also an autobiography of a fallen politician. Webb Hubbell was the Mayor of Little Rock, Hillary's partner at the Rose Law Firm, appointed as an Arkansas Supreme Court Justice, and then served as Associate Attorney General in the Bill Clinton administration. While a partner at Rose Law, he embezzled money for personal debt, but did not get caught until years later, when he was serving as Associate Attorney General. He resigned and served 18 months in prison, then wrote this book. Hubbell is candid about his guilt, which makes me believe he is candid about Bill & Hillary as well. There are no startling revelations in this book -- just a review of the Clinton's history in Arkansas and Washington from the perspective of a "Friend of Hillary" and "Friend of Bill". Hubbell was also a close friend of Vince Foster (who also was a Rose Law Firm member) and details his suicide from a friend's perspective too. Hubbell includes substantial auotbiography about his crime and aftermath, but we focus here on Bill and Hillary. -- by Jesse Gordon, jesse@OnTheIssues.org, March 2008
