As soon as I read ONE paragraph into this novel, I KNEW whether ya call him Jack Stanton or not, yep, that's Bill Clinton. And when Susan Stanton makes her entrance, that's Hilary--that's the boss. This fictional account is told through the lens of Henry Burton, a black man Stanton 'half-flatters, half-shanghais' onto his campaign. If you're old enough to remember the Clinton campaigns, you'll recognize the players and a lot of the incidents that paralleled true life.
