The book, to be published by Alfred A. Knopf, is called "A Woman in Charge: the Life of Hillary Rodham Clinton" and will have a first printing of 350,000 copies in the United States, a Knopf spokesman said.



LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Former Washington Post reporter Carl Bernstein, who with Bob Woodward helped expose the Watergate scandal, has spent eight years researching the life of Hillary Rodham Clinton and will publish a 640-page biography of her in June, the publisher said on Monday.

He added that the size of the first printing was very high indicating that Knopf expected the book to be a best-seller at a time when Clinton, a Democratic U.S. senator from New York and wife of former President Bill Clinton, is one of the front-runners in the battle to win the Democratic presidential nomination.

Bernstein, known for his investigative reporting, interviewed more than 200 people, including friends, colleagues and adversaries of Clinton's for the book, which covers her life up through the decision to run for the presidency.

"I believe his book will stand as the most detailed, comprehensive, and revealing account we have of a woman who helped define one presidency and may well step into another."
