Summary
Jonathan Allen and Amie Parnes' 2017 book offers a campaign-trail account of Hillary Clinton's 2016 presidential election loss, based on interviews with staff, donors, and Clinton herself. It diagnoses the internal dysfunctions, strategic errors, and clashing personalities that doomed the campaign despite its institutional advantages. The book is a post-mortem of a political operation that had every resource except a clear theory of how to win.
