Starr a reassessment / [electronic resource] : Benjamin Wittes. - New Haven, [Conn.] ; London : Yale University Press, c2002. - 1 online resource (xvii, 251 p.)
Includes bibliographical references and index.
This book is a serious, impartial effort to evaluate and critique Kenneth Starr's tenure as independent counsel. Relying on revealing interviews with Starr and many other players in Clinton-era Washington, the book arrives at a new understanding of Starr and the part he played in one of American history's most enthralling public sagas. It offers a deeply considered portrait of a decent man who fundamentally misconstrued his function under the independent counsel law. Starr took his task to be ferreting out and reporting the truth about official misconduct, a well-intentioned but nevertheless misguided distortion of the law, the book argues.
