Doug Henwood

a slim book with thirty pages of footnotes. this is a documented litany of complaints about her character and politics. this goes back to the Little Rock days and Whitewater and up to date with her email server. i found more that painted her as caustic and entitled in Game Change. this focuses more on her being disingenuous and harboring such notions that exceed liberal paternalism into the realm of neo-con friendly fascism and a materialistic desire that pushes her towards plutocrats. if show more you are on the fence on her i expect this would put you off her.

A very well-written and well-reasoned takedown of Clinton from the left, although as best as I can Henwood did very little original research and is mostly relying on the findings of others.

Despite the invective that undermined my confidence in him at times, I was not moved to rage, but came away, I think, with a better understanding of Hillary.

A good concise polemic.
