The mesmerizing story of Hillary Clinton's political rebirth, based
on eyewitness accounts from deep inside her inner circle
Hillary Clinton's surprising defeat in the 2008 Democratic primary
brought her to the nadir of her political career, vanquished by a
much younger opponent whose message of change and cutting-edge tech
team ran circles around her stodgy campaign. And yet, six years
later, she has reemerged as an even more powerful and influential
figure, a formidable stateswoman and the presumed front-runner for
the 2016 Democratic presidential nomination, marking one of the
great political comebacks in history.
The story of Hillary's phoenixlike rise is at the heart of "HRC, "
a riveting political biography that journeys into the heart of
"Hillaryland" to discover a brilliant strategist at work.
Masterfully unfolded by "Politico'"s""Jonathan Allen and "The
Hill"'s Amie Parnes from more than two hundred top-access
interviews with Hillary's intimates, colleagues, supporters, and
enemies, "HRC" portrays a seasoned operator who negotiates
political and diplomatic worlds with equal savvy. Loathed by the
Obama team in the wake of the primary, Hillary worked to become the
president's greatest ally, their fates intertwined in the work of
reestablishing America on the world stage. "HRC" puts readers in
the room with Hillary during the most intense and pivotal moments
of this era, as she mulls the president-elect's offer to join the
administration, pulls the strings to build a coalition for his war
against Libya, and scrambles to deal with the fallout from the
terrible events in Benghazi--all while keeping one eye focused on
2016.
"HRC" offers a rare look inside the merciless Clinton political
machine, as Bill Clinton handled the messy business of avenging
Hillary's primary loss while she tried to remain above the partisan
fray. Exploring her friendships and alliances with Robert Gates,
David Petraeus, Leon Panetta, Joe Biden, and the president himself,
Allen and Parnes show how Hillary fundamentally transformed the
State Department through the force of her celebrity and her
unparalleled knowledge of how power works in Washington. Filled
with deep reporting and immersive storytelling, this remarkable
portrait of the most important female politician in American
history is an essential inside look at the woman who may be our
next president.
