Description
“An engaging, beautifully synthesized page-turner” (Slate). The #1 New York Times bestseller and Time #1 Nonfiction Book of the Year: Hillary Rodham Clinton’s most personal memoir yet, about the 2016 presidential election.
In this “candid and blackly funny” (The New York Times) memoir, Hillary Rodham Clinton reveals what she was thinking and feeling during one of the most controversial and unpredictable presidential elections in history. She takes us inside the intense personal experience of becoming the first woman nominated for president by a major party in an election marked by rage, sexism, exhilarating highs and infuriating lows, stranger-than-fiction twists, Russian interference, and an opponent who broke all the rules.
“At her most emotionally raw” (People), Hillary describes what it was like to run against Donald Trump, the mistakes she made, how she has coped with a shocking and devastating loss, and how she found the strength to pick herself back up afterward. She tells readers what it took to get back on her feet—the rituals, relationships, and reading that got her through, and what the experience has taught her about life. In this “feminist manifesto” (The New York Times), she speaks to the challenges of being a strong woman in the public eye, the criticism over her voice, age, and appearance, and the double standard confronting women in politics.
Offering a “bracing... guide to our political arena” (The Washington Post), What Happened lays out how the 2016 election was marked by an unprecedented assault on our democracy by a foreign adversary. By analyzing the evidence and connecting the dots, Hillary shows just how dangerous the forces are that shaped the outcome, and why Americans need to understand them to protect our values and our democracy in the future.
The election of 2016 was unprecedented and historic. What Happened is the story of that campaign, now with a new epilogue showing how Hillary grappled with many of her worst fears coming true in the Trump Era, while finding new hope in a surge of civic activism, women running for office, and young people marching in the streets.

45 is the GOAT
1By Amgirl1008Trump 2024Liberal hack
1By Freedomcast StudiosShe's mad that democrats stole the election for Joe Biden rather than her.Decent Read
4By Shibby_Dude :DWhether you love her or hate her, it was a good read. Surprisingly lighthearted at times. I think the electoral college needs to go, as does 63% of America. I think it Trump wins again and loses the popular vote, yet again, there will be some scrutiny done on it and maybe see it be abolished. It’s been under review since the 1800’s. A lot of people think it needs to go. I doI know.

5By rg06013The rest of us needed to hear how we can prevent this from happening again. Being a successful woman isn’t a crime.Spectacular!
5By Angelface9Clinton gives a concise, sincere and well educated explanation of the events leading up to the stunning loss of the 2016 Presidential election. This book will remind you why HRC is one of the most well loved and respected women of our lifetime. You will be reminded, as well, how much the nation truly lost when Trump took the election. Russia had a mission- to destroy the author’s reputation and her chance at being the 45th President of the United Sates. Russia used disinformation while simultaneously cultivating and then using Donald J Trump as a pawn in their takedown and takeover. A must read.Worth reading
