Hillary Rodham Clinton: The Biography

On Saturday, January 20, 2007, the long-awaited message finally arrived: "I'm in. And I'm in to win." Hillary Rodham Clinton announced on her website that she is running to become the next president of the United States. Hillary Clinton is one of the most influential women in the United States, and perhaps
the one who sows the most discord in the political climate. People keep
love her or hate her, there seems to be no middle ground. Hillary Rodham Clinton describes how Hillary, like so many women of her generation, adapted her youthful ideals to the realities of American society and the national
politics. The reader follows Hillary from the dorms of Wellesley to the courtrooms of Arkansas and Washington; to the White House where she plays the role of First Lady like no other; to the back rooms of the Senate, where she expertly avoids all political pitfalls; to her $4 million mansion in Washington where she runs an unparalleled fundraising machine; and finally to the nerve center of power,
from which she orchestrates venomous attacks on her critics. Throughout her career, Hillary has been alternately helped and hindered by her marriage to Bill Clinton. Hillary Rodham Clinton unravels the mystery of their political alliance—one of the most powerful and inscrutable in American history. Gerth and Van Natta also attempt to explain why Hillary has provoked so much resistance. But more than any other book, Hillary Rodham Clinton reveals her ultimate hopes and ambitions, for herself and for America.
