The Clinton Years

BBC

From displays of political brilliance to the darkest days of personal turmoil, Bill Clinton's presidency was as controversial as it was colourful.

This four-part series explores his turbulent time in office, looking back over key domestic and foreign policy decisions and analysing his contribution to modern international politics.

Yet it would prove to be at such moments of adversity that his political skills were at their greatest.
