Publisher Description
Barbara Olson was a trenchant critic of the Clinton White House, which she considered to be the home of two of the slickest kleptocrats ever to disgrace the Oval Office. In THE FINAL DAYS, Olson depicted the excesses and outright crimes she claims took place as the Clintons prepared to leave office. These include the granting of pardons to people of dubious legal status, such as the shadowy financier Marc Rich, and the last-minute signing into law of thousands of executive orders, a feat comparable only to John Adams's appointment of the "midnight judiciary." Olson's indignation knew no bounds when it came to the Clintons, and if you feel the same way, you'll relish every minute of this book. Barbara Olson was killed in the hijacked plane flown into the Pentagon during the terrorist attack on America. "Olson was a pundit superstar...fighting the culture wars on a wide range of fronts."

"Barbara Olson was a victim of 9/11. The plane she was on was driven into the Pentagon. This book was to be released after 9/11. The family decided to release the book, and I'm glad they did. Great book by a great author. RIP."

The Final Days Listener Reviews
-
" While reading this book, I had the sense it wasn't quite finished by the author. It didn't flow as well as Hell To Pay. Knowing that Barbara Olsen was killed on Sept 11, 2001, I wondered whether she had planned another edit. "
— Steve, 11/25/2013 -
" I bought this book after Olsen's tragic death on 9/11 (she was an occupent on one of the hijacked planes). This is a good follow-up to Hell to Pay. If you really want to know all of the scandal, stealing, winking, and what-not that went on then, read this book! "

" Just how bad they really were. "
— Anna, 11/8/2012 -
" Very interesting book regarding President Clintons pardons, especially in light of the Scooter Libby pardon. Scooter really didn't seem to do anything. Clinton pardon murders, crooks and terrorist. "
