He lives with his wife, Christine, in New York.

"Of the two Watergate journalists, Bernstein is the brighter, wilder and wittier. His picture of Hillary is a convincing and full one" Sunday Telegraph "A window on the juicy years of political ferment and feminism... it provides some fascinating insights into Hillary's political growth" The Times "A brilliant piece of journalism - impartial but packed with minute, telling details. It's also a fascinating portrait of a marriage: the gloves are very much off, but Hillary still emerges as an exceptional, complicated figure in her own right" -- Olivia Cole Independent on Sunday, Books of the Year "The work of a legendary investigative journalist... Bernstein has laboured mightily" Observer "Painstaking, sensitive and elegantly written" Economist
