Former US President Bill Clinton is set to follow in his wife's footsteps by publishing his autobiography. And the politician is promising his as-yet untitled tome will give the inside story on his colourful personal life.
The 56-year-old has been paid an £8.5 million advance for the work. And despite the scandals that engulfed his presidency, Bill insists he has "nothing to hide" and will use the book to set the record straight.
"It's one-third written and two-thirds planned out," said Bill, who has been working through his archives of personal letters to write the book. "I've kept everything – all the letters from my mother, all the essays I wrote in college." He has also pledged to give a thorough account of his time as a Rhodes scholar at Oxford. "There's going to be a lot about my time in England," he said.
The book won't hit the shelves until early next year, so as not to interfere with paperback sales of his wife Hillary's memoirs. Living History broke records for non-fiction sales on both sides of the Atlantic, so Bill will have his work cut out to match her success.
