The woman who wouldn't talk
by Susan McDougal and Helen Thomas
- 3 Want to read
"How a small-town Arkansas woman became a nationally known felon is one of the most fascinating and unexamined legacies of the Clinton presidency. Born to a U.S. Army sergeant and his Belgian bride, Susan Henley was one of seven children in a boisterous Arkansas family; in her teens, she made patriotic speeches at her local American Legion hall.
In 1976, she married Jim McDougal, a mercurial entrepreneur, who soon turned their life into a rolling sideshow of bank acquisitions and real estate deals, including one fatefully dubbed Whitewater." "In the mid 1990s, Susan McDougal unexpectedly found herself facing federal prosecutors who represented Independent Counsel Kenneth Starr. They offered her a deal - relief from legal jeopardy that included Whitewater charges in exchange for damaging information on Bill and Hillary Clinton.".
"McDougal examines the life choices she has made. She also offers fresh anecdotes about the Clintons' early years in politics, a close-up view of Starr's sinister investigation, and a moving portrait of what happens to women in American prisons."--BOOK JACKET.

Work Description
Now McDougal breaks her silence. In this long-awaited book, she examines the life choices she has made as she narrates her story in a candid and wry voice. She also offers fresh anecdotes about the Clintons early years in politics, a close-up view of Starr's sinister investigation, and a moving portrait of what happens to women in American prisons. For millions of Americans who believe that Starr, appointed by Republicans dissatisfied with the first Whitewater prosecutor, pushed his investigation too far, Susan McDougal remains the very embodiment of the ordinary citizen whose liberty is usurped by a coercive government.
