Non-Fiction Political | Non-Fiction Biography
She is one of the most influential and recognizable figures
in our country, and perhaps the single most divisive
individual in our political landscape. She has been the
subject of both hagiography and vitriolic smear jobs. But
although dozens of books have been written about her, none
of them have come close to uncovering the real
Hillary--personal, political, in all her complications. Now,
as she contemplates a historic run for the Presidency,
Pulitzer Prize-winning New York Times reporters Jeff Gerth
and Don Van Natta Jr. bring us the first comprehensive and
balanced portrait of the most important woman in American
politics. Drawing upon myriad new sources and previously
undisclosed documents, HER WAY shows us how, like many women
of her generation, Hillary Rodham Clinton tempered a
youthful idealism with the realities of corporate America
and big-league politics. It takes readers from the dorm
rooms at Wellesley to the courthouses of Arkansas and
Washington; to the White House and role as First Lady like
none other; inside the back rooms of the Senate, where she
expertly navigates the political and legislative shoals; to
her $4 million mansion in Washington, where she presides
over an unparalleled fundraising machine; and to her war
room, from which she orchestrates ferocious attacks against
her critics. Throughout her career, she has been alternately
helped and hindered by her marriage to Bill Clinton. HER WAY
unravels the mysteries of their political partnership--one
of the most powerful and enigmatic in American history. It
also explains why Hillary is such a polarizing figure. And
more than any other book, it reveals what her ultimate hopes
and ambitions are--for herself and for America.
