EVENT DETAILS

Under the leadership of President Bill Clinton, dramatic political, cultural, and technological shifts ushered in an age of prosperity and transformed America’s sociopolitical landscape. Historian Gil Troy reflects upon Clinton’s presidency, his evolving legacy, and the U.S. as it was under his guidance: a post-Cold War, pre-9/11 nation defined by boundless opportunity and great anxiety.

Gil Troy is Professor of History at McGill University in Montreal and the author of The Age of Clinton: America in the 1990s. Lesley Stahl (moderator) is a correspondent for 60 Minutes and is a former CBS News White House correspondent.
