Former US president Bill Clinton will be at the American University in Dubai (AUD) tomorrow to sign his book My Life and to release its Arabic version. My Life has been hailed as the most encompassing presidential memoir ever written. Its content and style combine to make it fascinating reading.

Clinton has visited the university on two occasions previously. He was the guest speaker at AUD's fifth commencement exercise on June 11, 2002, while in September 2003, he addressed 30 AUD students on the topic of "Overcoming Cultural Misperceptions". He also launched The William Jefferson Clinton Scholars programme at the American University in Dubai which offers scholarships to American students to enable them to study at the AUD. The first group of students is set to arrive in January 2005. After leaving the White House, Clinton established the William Jefferson Foundation which aims at strengthening the capacity of the people in the United States and throughout the world to meet the challenges of global inter-dependence, through its work in racial, ethnic and religious reconciliation. |
