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.
