Synopses & Reviews
Drawing from hundreds of interviews with colleagues, friends and with unique access to campaign records, Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist and author Carl Bernstein offers a complex and nuanced portrait of one of the most controversial figures of our time: Hillary Clinton.
He has given us a book that enables us, at last, to address the questions Americans are insistently even obsessively asking: What is her character? What is her political philosophy? Who is she? What can we expect from her?
Review
"[Bernstein's] book holds together as a piece of writing, and he keeps the psychobabble to a merciful minimum. He also attempts to write a genuine biography, describing and interpreting the life Hillary has led and the varieties of forces that shaped her." Jennifer Senior, The New York Times Book Review
Review
"Fresh, complete and detailed, it offers a welcome chance to recalibrate our gauges on her. You already know it's quite a story, but Bernstein fleshes it out as never before....The book may be lengthy...but it's never a trudge." Chicago Sun-Times
Review
"In the end this reader was left wishing she could sit down with the senator and get an unencumbered sense of what Hillary Clinton is really like." The Oregonian
Review
"It turns out that Carl Bernstein, investigative reporting icon and not-so-successful biographer in the past, has written one of the best unauthorized biographies I've ever read about a living person." Dallas Morning News
Synopsis
The nuanced, definitive biography of one of the most controversial and widely misunderstood figures of our time: the woman running a historic campaign as the 2016 Democratic presidential nominee--Hillary Rodham Clinton.
Drawing on hundreds of interviews with colleagues and friends and with unique access to campaign records, Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist and bestselling author Carl Bernstein has given us a book that enables us, at last, to address the questions Americans are insistently--even obsessively--asking: Who is she? What is her character? What is her political philosophy? And, what can we expect from Hillary if we elect her President of the United States?
