Rewriting History - A Review of the Book

By Sigrid Hazel Salucop
The book Rewriting History by Dick Morris tells of the semi-shocking tale on who the real Hillary Rodham Clinton is. The former first lady is described by Morris as someone who shows only a certain part of her face or persona to attract voters, not only during the time prior to her candidacy for the senate seat but a long time before that.

The dismaying thing is the question raised if the former first lady is really a devoted public servant or is just somebody who rides the tides and goes where the demographics lead her like for example, she ran for Senator in a state where the minority population is strong and this population likely to vote for a democrat.

It must have been devastating for many women out there who idolized or respected Mrs. Clinton and read the said book, I myself was devastated a little because I have always believed in her compassion and her utter belief in an ideal model for her programs i.e. the health care fiasco. The health care policy she stubbornly believed in is one of her downfalls in politics but one should see that it is her belief in something ideal is genuine enough to drive her to do what she did. I respect that quality in her, a character not quite discussed in the book, something we always overlook. That however is also one of her biggest character flaw because if it is coupled with her naivete or her being easily swayed, this is rather dangerous. These are of course discussed in length in the book.

I have read the book from front to back even the indexes that is how engrossing it is. Apart from that history buffs would love the book as well, maybe more than I do.
