Edward Klein presents his investigation into Hillary Clinton's troubled presidential campaign. The former New York Times Magazine editor in chief draws on extensive interviews with Clinton and Obama associates to reveal private conversations and strategic planning sessions. Klein documents Clinton's activities at her Chappaqua and Whitehaven residences as she navigates her White House bid. The investigative reporter, who previously wrote bestsellers The Amateur and Blood Feud, argues that Clinton faces significant challenges as a candidate. He contends that her public image suffers from association with various scandals rather than policy achievements. Klein portrays a politician struggling with questions about honesty and relatability. The book became a New York Times bestseller while offering Klein's perspective on Clinton's political vulnerabilities and campaign dynamics during a critical election period.
