Living History (book)
''Living History'' is a 2003 memoir by Hillary Clinton. It was written when she was a sitting Senator from New York. Background and writing In December 2000, Simon & Schuster agreed to pay Clinton a reported $8 million advance for what became ''Living History''—a near-record figure to an author for an advance at that time. Critics charged that the book deal, coming soon after her election to the U.S. Senate, but before being sworn into office, was not in adherence to the ethical standards required for members of the U.S. Senate. However, in February 2001, the Senate Ethics Committee gave Clinton approval for the deal. Clinton reportedly used three ghostwriters for ''Living History'': veteran ghostwriter Maryanne Vollers, speechwriter Alison Muscatine, and researcher Ruby Shamir. Muscatine later related how the three would meet at Clinton's house early in the morning before she left for the Capitol building, do a day's worth of writing, and then meet again after midnight at ...
