BOOK OVERVIEW – Contempt: A Memoir of the Clinton Investigation

• Twenty years after the Starr Report and the Clinton impeachment, former special counsel Ken Starr finally shares his definitive account of one of the most divisive periods in American history.
• 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.
