Bill Clinton- How family shaped a presidency

http://www.mslaw.edu

Growing up in an alcoholic family, Clinton learned to play the role of the family hero, spending much of his childhood attempting to rescue his family. His determination to bring glory to his family and thereby save them, at least in the eyes of others, helped to instill in Clinton personal character traits that both paved the way for his successes and his failures. Dean Lawrence R. Velvel interviews William H. Chafe, Professor of History and former Dean of the Faculty at Duke University about his new book Private Lives/Public Consequences, Personality and Politics in Modern America, in this episode of The Massachusetts School of Laws Books of our Time.

The Massachusetts School of Law also presents information on important current affairs to the general public in television and radio broadcasts, an intellectual journal, conferences, author appearances, blogs and books. For more information visit mslawledu.
