Influential Hillary Clinton biography to launch in DUMBO
Brooklyn BookBeat
Two White House correspondents trace Hillary Clinton’s political comeback, from the ashes of her primary defeat to the most important diplomatic position in the world.
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 phoenix-like 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 Jonathan Allen of Bloomberg News and The Hill’s Amie Parnes from more than 200 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.
