Knopf announced Tuesday.
Clinton, whose memoir "My Life" was a million seller, will tour nationwide to promote the book and will narrate the audio version.
"I've done my best in this book to demonstrate what I've seen firsthand through my (William J. Clinton) Foundation's work in Africa and around the world: that all kinds of giving can make a profoundly positive difference," Clinton said in a statement released by Knopf.
"The amount of good that so many individuals and NGOs (nongovernmental organizations) have been able to do has proven to me that almost everyoneregardless of income, available time, age, and skillscan do something useful for others and, in the process, strengthen the fabric of our shared humanity."
According to Knopf, the book was written by Clinton himself and features "a number of extraordinary people and organizationssome famous, as well as many private citizens whom readers will be hearing about for the first timeall of whom represent a global floodtide of nongovernmental nonprofit activity."

One Word: RETREAD.
Most of us give without any fanfare or recognition. Who among us needs to write a book about their giving? Only the man who has a compulsion to tell everyone about all the good he does, going around the world being paid millions to tell people how great he is.
A great scholar (sarcasm).
Maybe he’ll explain all the Acts of Terror on The United States that he covered up on his eight years in office! Osama Bin Laden said in 1998 he didn’t know what he could do further to teach the American President that they were at war. Bet thats not in his corrupt book.
I think he majored in Draft-Avoidance Studies in the UK.
A brazen plea to the non-elites to give generously to the elites. There have been several articles posted on FR documenting how our giving has made matters far worse in many cases.
That and... foreign “affairs”.
Bravo, I got a great laugh out of that one.
Think he’ll go on FOX with Chris Wallace again to pump his new repository of Trash? Pretty sure he wont, but it would be great to see him blow up again.
(Please FReepmail if you want on, or off, this list. I certainly have no desire to increase anyones stress-level. Thanks!!!)
Terrific..Snagged
;o)
Anything for the ‘cause’. I am sure you’ll put it to good use... grin

I simply don’t have the native progressive genius to sit through a book written by a communist troglodyte. Besides, my cave is out of light bulbs.
LOL—does he have a chapter on how he gave it to Monica?
Thanks for the ping!
You’re welcome, certainly.
I thought perhaps you might have an item or two from your extensive archive at http://www.alamo-girl.com/ which you might wish to share with us “for the good of the order” on this thread. ...grin
I can’t possibly top that graphic with lyrics.
