Evans-Pritchard, Ambrose. The Secret Life of Bill Clinton: The Unreported Stories. Washington DC: Regnery Publishing, 1997. 460 pages.

For more than four years during the Clinton administration, Ambrose Evans-Pritchard was the Washington bureau chief for The Sunday Telegraph. The stories he filed about major scandals were ignored by U.S. journalists, and thrived only on the Internet. The reason is simple: Evans-Pritchard still knows what the words "investigative journalist" mean, and is so good at it that he embarrassed a profession that has been resting on its dubious laurels for the two decades since Watergate and the CIA revelations.

This book is divided into three sections. The first is about the Oklahoma City bombing. Much about this bombing has never been told. It looks like it started out as a federal sting operation through the use of an agent-provocateur, and then the feds lost control. The middle section is on the death of Vincent Foster, and covers material that can be found in another book in NameBase, by Christopher Ruddy. The last section is about the Dixie mafia and drug smuggling in Arkansas, and how various people who knew too much about Bill Clinton's friends ended up dead. Evans-Pritchard's experience from covering Central America during the violent 1980s must have come in handy for this section. If you ever wondered whether Arkansas is just another banana republic, you'll have no more doubts after reading this book.
