Noted biographical author Sally Bedell Smith's newest book, For Love of Politics: Bill and Hillary Clinton: The White House Years (Random House), is one that's expected to earn considerable attention as it is released. Drawn from extensive behind the scenes work—research, interviews, and more—Ms. Smith looks at the Clintons' marriage, and how they worked together throughout the time of Mr. Clinton's presidency, casting Ms. Clinton's role as quite unique in the annals of U.S. history and presidential spouses. Sally Bedell Smith's previous bestselling books—biographies of John and Jacqueline Kennedy (Grace and Power), Diana Spencer, Pamela Churchill Harriman, and William S. Paley—also reflect her interest and authority in examining power in various guises.
