agree  Randa Farhat: i think 'condensed' is about the book itself rather than the biography. so you could say, ملخص كتاب بل كلينتون
12 hrs
agree  Awad Balaish: This draws my attention to my misunderstanding. Mixed up among Clinton , book and condensed Thank you all.

ملخص (موجز) حياة بيل كلينتون


Explanation:
I think you are referring to a condensed version of Clinton's new book "My Life", so you can say ملخص (موجز) حياة بيل كلينتون or maybe you can even say مختصر حياة بيل كلينتون.

ملخّص كتاب - وجيز


Explanation:
either use: ملخّص كتاب بِل كلينتون
or: وجيز بِل كلينتون
because ملخص كتاب means in one word وجيز

i think the article is about the book in short, not about the biography in short.
you could also title the article as كتاب بِل كلينتون بإيجاز
