The true story behind one of the greatest political comebacks in history and a behind-the-scenes look at the woman who nearly became the first female president of America.
JONATHAN ALLEN is the Washington Bureau Chief for Bloomberg News.
An award-winning reporter, he has written extensively about
Congress, the White House and national politics, and appears
frequently as a political analyst on national television news
programs. He lives on Capitol Hill with his wife, Stephanie, and
their children, Asher and Emma.
AMIE PARNES is the Senior White House correspondent for The Hill
newspaper in Washington, where she covers the Obama Administration.
A ten-year veteran of political journalism, she travelled with the
Clinton, Obama and McCain campaigns while covering the 2008
presidential race for POLITICO. She appears frequently on MSNBC and
has also been featured on CNN, Fox News and other networks.
Well researched, well written and with plenty of inside access, it
makes a strong case that Hillary is set to run again — and makes
you hope she does.
*Alastair Campbell*
Allen and Parnes who have researched their subject assiduously and
write in clear, readable prose, have written a book peppered with
telling anecdotes.
*Sunday Times*
Crammed with revelations about Mrs Clinton’s service with Team
Obama.
*Economist*
It is the correct starting point for an appraisal of a compelling
character who might, at the age of 69 in January 2017, be sworn in
as the most powerful woman in the history of the world. Jonathan
Allen and Amie Parnes, both respected political journalists who
cover the day-to-day of the White House and Capitol Hill, start in
the moment of defeat and plot “a tale of political resurrection for
which the final chapters remain unwritten” . . . Whether or not she
finally breaks the glass ceiling, she will make a tremendous
story.
*The Times, BOOK OF THE WEEK*
A character-driven psychodrama, chockablock with sweaty
descriptions of its players . . . It's no easy feat to wring
page-turning narrative juice from four years of state craft, but
Allen and Parnes have relied on 200 sources . . . to get them the
gossipy goods.
*Los Angeles Times*
[HRC] provides useful context and intelligent analysis, and a
highly readable account of her tenure at Foggy Bottom . . . pumped
full of colorful you-are-there details.
*New York Times*
A revealing window into the le Carré-like layers of intrigue that
develop when a celebrity politician who is married to another
celebrity politician loses to yet another celebrity politician, and
goes on to serve the politician who defeated her.
*Washington Post*
HRC manages the rare feat of being both important and entertaining.
It opens with a juicy chapter detailing the punishment and reward
of Bill and Hillary’s political enemies and friends. But the meat
of HRC is its narration of her role in tackling crises in
Afghanistan, Iran, Pakistan, and Libya — an amazingly tumultuous
period that provides the best preview of what a Hillary Clinton
presidency might look like, at least for foreign policy.
*New York magazine*
Fast and contemporary with a sense of urgency and an almost a
televisual feel, giving the impression of a Washington not too far
from something like House of Cards. The authors don’t scrimp on
detail, either, to make for a weighty, if friendly, portrait.
*Independent on Sunday*
