The mesmerizing story of Hillary Clinton's political rebirth, based on eyewitness accounts from deep inside her inner circle and featuring a new introduction from the authors

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.

Review

New York Times Bestseller

USA Today Bestseller

"Books on contemporary political figures rarely have pinpoint timing, but this one does... [Allen and Parnes's] most persuasive accomplishment is to show, backed by impressive detail, the ways in which Clinton never really abandoned domestic politics." –Jodi Kantor, New York Times Book Review

"[HRC] provides useful context and intelligent analysis, and a highly readable account of her tenure at Foggy Bottom... pumped full of colorful you-are-there details." –Michiko Kakutani, New York Times

"Deeply reported... a revealing window into the le Carré-like layers of intrigue that develop when a celebrity politician who is married to another celebrity politician loses to yet another celebrity politician, and goes on to serve the politician who defeated her." –Washington Post

"HRC: State Secrets and the Rebirth of Hillary Clinton manages the rare feat of being both important and entertaining. It opens with a juicy chapter detailing the punishment and reward of Bill and Hillary’s political enemies and friends. But the meat of HRC is its narration of her role in tackling crises in Afghanistan, Iran, Pakistan, and Libya — an amazingly tumultuous period that provides the best preview of what a Hillary Clinton presidency might look like, at least for foreign policy." –New York magazine

"A character-driven psychodrama, chockablock with sweaty descriptions of its players… It's no easy feat to wring page-turning narrative juice from four years of state craft, but Allen and Parnes have relied on 200 sources…to get them the gossipy goods."—Los Angeles Times

"A thoroughly reported and well-written chronicle of Clinton’s comeback and her tenure at the State Department." –Christian Science Monitor

"Full of the inside baseball that political junkies love and on which opposition researchers thrive. Great stuff to light the hot stove of the off-season." –Hugh Hewitt, The Washington Examiner

Be wary of books that praise the good while glossing over the bad.

May 31, 2016

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

I have always liked the Clinton's and the political mastery of the 1990's, and Hillary's time as Secretary of State. However, I am always skeptical of books the praise someone or something and glosses over the negative parts of whatever (See The Fourth Revolution by John Micklethwait). For starters, she absolutely bungled the situation in Libya, a decision that will haunt her this election cycle, which the authors were like, "well she screwed up, but she's Hillary, so its ok". Another point that was barley mentioned without a critical eye was some of the people who ran the Clinton Foundation and all of the dealings with members of Wall Street, which was given a sentence or two towards the end. I get the philosophy of the Clinton's is to merge public with private, but I'm positive that some of the dealings were self serving and (maybe?) not kosher. Regardless, it was a good account of her time at State and the lead up into the 2016 cycle. Good reading, just do so with a critical, but not demonizing, eye

Well worth the time to read it. There are many positives about HRC and some negatives. I am uncertain after reading it whether to order Secretary Clinton's own book that has been released recently, but will probably do so when I catch up on some other reading and writing that I am doing. I expect to support her if she runs in 2016, but have not decided if I need to read the full book she has written after reading the nuggets from it that have appeared in articles I have read. This book was undoubtedly more balanced because it was not just filled with praise for her.

Hillary, the Hawk

March 30, 2014

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

I felt the book was worthwhile, although it somewhat changed my mind about Hillary. I regarded her as more of a liberal and a peace seeker. This book made me think she is more of a hawk. I am sick and tired of wars all over the world with us running them. Do we have to tell everyone else how to live?

Those who like her still will; those who don't will also be the same.

July 19, 2014

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

Bought because I want to read about Ms Clinton and her perspective on history. This reads as a launch to her presidential aspirations. It took me a long time to read as I became bored and bogged down at times. Methinks that fans of Ms Clinton will enjoy the read. Others who dislike her or are not sure how they rate her; will at times shrug their shoulders as the book becomes irrelevant to them.
