William Jefferson Clinton was the 42nd president of the United States.

5.0 out of 5 stars Impossible to put down
Format: HardcoverVerified PurchaseThe First Gentleman is a brilliant collaboration between Bill Clinton and James Patterson and the best yet in the series. The story is riveting from page one to the final page, the writing is precise and flawless. You are drawn to the truth of what you are reading. The story is cleverly laid out, and the characters drawn with depth and believability. These two authors are a perfect complement to one another. When I finished reading that final 466th page, I knew I had read the best book of 2025.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great, terrific read.
Format: Kindle EditionVerified PurchaseA page-turner! Taut, fast-paced and authentic, as they nailed the details of the White House, court room drama and prison. The integrity and honor of being President of the United States is celebrated. Much needed to be remembered that to serve the people and not oneself is the true calling of a public servant.
