WhatHappened

In her latest memoir, Hillary Rodham Clinton offers readers an inside look at one of the most controversial and unpredictable presidential elections in history. For the first time, she reveals her thoughts and emotions during the intense personal experience of becoming the first woman nominated for president by a major party.

The election was marked by rage, sexism, exhilarating highs and infuriating lows, stranger-than-fiction twists, Russian interference, and an opponent who broke all the rules. Hillary describes her mistakes, coping with a shocking and devastating loss, and finding the strength to pick herself back up afterward. She shares the rituals, relationships, and reading that got her through, and what the experience has taught her about life.

Hillary speaks candidly about the challenges of being a strong woman in the public eye and the double standard confronting women in politics. She also lays out the evidence of an unprecedented assault on our democracy by a foreign adversary that shaped the outcome of the election. By connecting the dots, Hillary shows just how dangerous these forces are and the need for Americans to understand them to protect our values and democracy in the future.

In the end, What Happened is both a deeply intimate account and a cautionary tale for the nation. The election of 2016 was unprecedented and historic, and this book tells the story of that campaign and its aftermath.
