On January 20, 2001, after nearly 30 years in politics --- eight of them as president of the United States --- Bill Clinton was suddenly a private citizen. Only 54 years old, he wanted to make meaningful use of his skills, his relationships with world leaders, and all he’d learned in a lifetime of politics. Just days after leaving the White House, the call came to aid victims of a devastating earthquake in India, and Clinton hit the ground running. Over the next two decades, he would create an enduring legacy of public service and advocacy work --- from Indonesia to Louisiana, Northern Ireland to South Africa --- and in the process reimagine philanthropy and redefine the impact a former president could have on the world. CITIZEN is Clinton’s front-row, first-person chronicle of his post-presidential years and the most significant events of the 21st century.
