Synopsis

The truth about the most important woman in America

In Her Way, two Pulitzer Prize-winning New York Times investigative journalists deliver: Previously undisclosed details about the Clinton's multi-decade plan for powerincluding 8 years in the White House for Bill and 8 years for Hillary.

Never-before-revealed information about Hillary's involvement in her husband's campaigns - including cover-ups and the truth about Bill's draft record. New details regarding Hillary's rivalry with Al Gore - and why it is likely to heat up. Provocative new information about Hillary's vote to authorize the Iraq War, and the steps she has taken to distance herself from that vote. Revelations about Bill Clinton's role in Hillary's campaign and his surprising opinion of Barack Obama New details of Hillary's failure to adhere to Senate ethics rules, and what this says about her political empire

She is one of the most influential and recognizable figures in our country, and perhaps the single most divisive individual in our political landscape. She has been the subject of both hagiography and vitriolic smear jobs. But although dozens of books have been written about her, none of them have come close to uncovering the real Hillary -- personal, political, in all her complications.

Now, as she make her historic run for the presidency, Pulitzer Prize-winning New York Times reporters Jeff Gerth and Don Van Natta Jr. bring us the first comprehensive and balanced portrait of the most important woman in American politics. Drawing upon myriad new sources and previously undisclosed documents, Her Way shows us how, like many women of her generation, Hillary Rodham Clinton tempered a youthful idealism with the realities of corporate America and big-league politics. It takes readers from the dorm rooms at Wellesley to the courthouses of Arkansas and Washington; to the White House and role as First Lady like none other; inside the back rooms of the Senate, where she expertly navigates the political and legislative shoals; to her $4 million mansion in Washington, where she presides over an unparalleled fundraising machine; and to her war room, from which she orchestrates ferocious attacks against her critics. Throughout her career, she has been alternately helped and hindered by her marriage to Bill Clinton.

Her Way unravels the mysteries of their political partnership -- one of the most powerful and enigmatic in American history. It also explains why Hillary is such a polarizing figure. And more than any other book, it reveals what her ultimate hopes and ambitions are -- for herself and for America.

Goodreads review by Scott on September 19, 2016

I’m stating upfront in this review that I am voting for Hillary in November. Clearly, if I had my druthers, I would prefer to be voting for Bernie Sanders, but that’s obviously not going to happen. While I like some of the third party candidates, I will not vote a third party because voting for thir......more

Goodreads review by Simon on February 15, 2014

Just not good. I am not a HRC fan, but this book's attempt to present itself as a "neutral" examination of her career was just silly. The tone of the book is bitchy (and the writing is grindingly bad). The book was pretty obviously an effort to derail her presidential ambitions in 2008. Now that she......more

Goodreads review by Peter on December 04, 2012

.... Her Way: The Hopes and Ambitions of Hillary Rodham Clinton, an unauthorized biography by Jeff Gerth and John Van Natta Jr., both investigative reporters for the New York Times. As is so often the case, I'm a late-comer to the book, which was published in 2008, before the results of that year's......more

Goodreads review by Ken on March 24, 2015

In the first part of this month I read an Op Ed piece by Jeff Gerth about Hillary Clinton having her own email server, rather than using the government one that a Secretary of State would be expected to use. Jeff Gerth is no stranger to executive-branch scandals. He covered Whitewater when he was a......more

Goodreads review by Erin on May 11, 2016

Conflicted. It's the only name I can give for how I felt throughout the entire reading of this book. A neutral portrayal of a complex woman. At once an incredibly intelligent and effective political actor in her own right, and yet questionable in terms of the ethics or integrity of her methods. I co......more
