It is long though and after awhile I just did not want to go on reading, (I did read till the end but required several breaks.) I think I am getting burned out on political reads. The book does not tell us much we did not know in regards to Clinton and several times the book had me shaking my head at pretty much everyone involved in BOTH of the 2016 Presidential campaigns. A good book, a decent read but sometimes got to much even for a political junkie like myself. (  ) Thebeautifulsea | Aug 7, 2022 | What surprised me is the generational conflict ("intuitive" politicians vs. data-driven), a focus on cost-control (almost certainly far too much, and probably to the extent of losing the election), and the level of concern for losing the election from early days. There's certainly a lot more left unsaid in this book, maybe to be revealed in the far future, but it was a pretty decent account. (  )1  octal | Jan 1, 2021 | The authors probably want to stay in the game with their contacts intact so this did not step on any toes (except of those already removed from the game). Brazenly and openly one sided but at least they're honest about it. (  ) Paul_S | Dec 23, 2020 | no reviews | add a review

HTML:#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER It was never supposed to be this close. And of course she was supposed to win. How Hillary Clinton lost the 2016 election to Donald Trump is the riveting story of a sure thing gone off the rails. For every Comey revelation or hindsight acknowledgment about the electorate, no explanation of defeat can begin with anything other than the core problem of Hillary's campaignâ??the candidate herself. Through deep access to insiders from the top to the bottom of the campaign, political writers Jonathan Allen and Amie Parnes have reconstructed the key decisions and unseized opportunities, the well-intentioned misfires and the hidden thorns that turned a winnable contest into a devastating loss. Drawing on the authors' deep knowledge of Hillary from their previous book, the acclaimed biography HRC, Shattered offers an object lesson in how Hillary herself made victory an uphill battle, how her difficulty articulating a vision irreparably hobbled her impact with voters, and how the campaign failed to internalize the lessons of populist fury from the hard-fought primary against Bernie Sanders. Moving blow-by-blow from the campaign's difficult birth through the bewildering terror of election night, Shattered tells an unforgettable story with urgent lessons both political and personal, filled with revelations that will change the way readers understand just what happened to America on November 8, 20 No library descriptions found. |
