In his book, The Clinton Crack-Up, Tyrrell "follows the boy president's wayward trail from Washington to Harlem, from Chappaqua to Hong Kong, from his double-wide presidential library with the penthouse on top in Little Rock to the moneychangers' dens of Dubai."
Tyrrell said he wrote Boy Clinton: The Political Biography because he notices that Bill Clinton was a 1960s generation politician - a vision of endless ambition and narcissism with a general ineptitude of the serious aspects of politics.
