“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.

It's a pity party for Hillary. She should have kept her internal thoughts to herself.I liked her before I started reading this.

What Happened edition by Hillary Rodham Clinton Politics Social Sciences eBooks Reviews

I voted for HRC. I bought the book. I read the book. The two-star review represents what I genuinely think about it.

A good 75% of the book has nothing to do with "what happened." Most of the book is HRC telling about her political career, her wonderful family, her mother, her wonderful life with Bill, how much she cares about people, especially children, her wonderful, hard-working staff, etc. This is fine but it's a lot to wade through to get to the meat of the book, and once you get to the meat, it's a pretty cheap cut.

HRC lays out a good case against FBI Director James Comey and against Russian "fake news" items that saturated social media and against the media for fixating on the non-scandal of her emails while ignoring her policies and plans for America. I came away from the book with a finer understanding of how these forces worked against her. She also has choice words for her opponent in the primary, Sen. Bernie Sanders, whom she believes "gave ammunition" to Trump. She was less convincing on this front as virtually nothing Sanders said against HRC during the primary battle was new; his criticisms of HRC were general talking points before Sanders ever entered the contest.

The book whitewashes the DNC's actions against Sanders during the primary, actions that turned a good number of Sanders supporters (HRC continues use of the odious "Bernie Bros." epithet) against her. She blames Russian leaks of DNC emails for Debra Wasserman Shultz's departure but makes no mention of what was IN those emails that was so incriminating. HRC praises the hard work of Donna Brazile but fails to mention how Brazile was caught stealing debate questions (for the debate with Sanders) from CNN and then leaking those questions to HRC and not to Sanders.

HRC skims over her failure to deliver a simple, inspirational vision for America as Trump did for his supporters and as Sanders did for his. She talks of her many policies and issue statements and acknowledges that such things aren't as catchy for voters as Trump's and Sanders' rhetoric. This statement is literally one sentence long, and yet it reveals the main reason her campaign failed She does not know how to inspire people to vote for her. She's proud of her campaign slogan, "Stronger Together," without recognizing how flat it falls compared with Trump's "Make America Great Again." She talks of a program she and Bill worked out to share investment income with all Americans, the way Alaska shares oil revenue with its citizens, and calls it "Alaska for Americans." My god, what a horrible name! But she doesn't see it. She's tone deaf when it comes to language.

She's also blind to the issue of optics. She acknowledges that her highly-paid and secretive speeches to Wall Street firms "looked bad," but she far underestimates just how negatively those speeches affected her image. She speaks in the book proudly of the designers she has designing her clothing, but seems oblivious to the way those very same clothes impact the unemployed formerly-working class people she admits to wooing unsuccessfully.

There is no doubt but that big forces worked against Hillary Clinton's candidacy, but major forces opposed Trump, also. What is telling in HRC's memoir and analysis are her own blind spots, her weakness as a campaigner who fails to inspire, her over-reliance on her status as "first female Presidential nominee from a major party" (53% of white women voted for Trump, but HRC doesn't examine why), and her refusal to acknowledge how the DNC, during the primary, alienated the progressive voters she would later need to win the general election. (Even here, though, we have figures now indicating that 12% of Sanders supporters went over to Trump, whereas in 2008, after HRC lost the primary to Obama, 24% of her supporters went over to McCain. In other words, Sanders supporters were still more supportive of HRC than HRC's supporters were of Obama by 2-to-1.)

So around and around we go. Some reviews state that HRC blames everyone but herself for her loss. I think this statement is a bit strong, but certainly she turns her back, at least in this book, to enough of her own failings and those of the DNC to earn the criticism.

So there is my review of "What Happened," as a Democrat, as someone who voted for Hillary Clinton, as someone who bought the book from and read every word.
If you want to know what Hillary wants you to think happened during the 2016 Election, this could be the book for you. If you want Hillary to have a few more bucks, this is you book. If you want a copy of "What Happened " from Goodwill or Salvation Army. At least the money will go to a real charity.
Hillary’s sour grape lamenting and self righteous rhetoric saturated every page of this book. While she did admit her share of mistakes on the campaign trail she seems to be much more interested in taking jabs at her opponent and implying that she was the only choice.....so what happened? I still don’t know.

Understandably losing something you strived for so desperately is crushing and I felt bad for her. I really believe she thought there was no way she would lose to someone like Donald Trump. She didn’t see defeat barreling toward her, didn’t realize no one trusted her, didn’t step outside her haughty brilliance to notice the large crowds at Trump rallies, nor did she seem to catch on that though the tone of Trump’s delivery was harsh vernacular, he was saying what many were thinking.

But it’s all over now. You lost. you’ve had your whine. Get over yourself and move on.

Oh, and Hillary,I wouldn’t bring up that lying thing...Clinton’s should not throw stones in that direction.
That was a painful read. Instead of a book I can't put down, it was a book I couldn't pick up. It took me a month to read it. I was expecting an inside look at the campaign what worked, what didn't, strategies and the reasonings behind them, internal battles, successes and failures. This book has none of that. Instead it is a book of
* Democrat talking points
* I love my daughter and my mother and my grandkids. They are so wonderful. Oh, and my dad too, I guess. And Bill's really an OK guy.
* Everyone else is a jerk Donald, Bernie, Comey, the FBI, the Russians, the Republicans, the media, white women--make that any woman who didn't vote for me because, well, you know, because I'm a woman.
* People who voted for Trump really are deplorable. No seriously, I mean it. Geesh, Trump groped a woman. That makes people who support him deplorable, doesn't it?
* I wanted to talk about issues but everyone else wanted to talk about how incompetent I am with email.

There was so much in this book that had nothing to do with "What Happened" and so little to do with what actually did happen.

The way she blamed everyone else, a better title would have been, "The Buck Starts Here".
I wanted to hear her side of what happened not her tell how great her campaign was, how her positions were the best, how she would have been the better President. It would have been a better read had she won.
Reading through reviews on this page, I don’t think half of the people writing even read the book. Hillary does NOT claim her campaign was perfect, she does NOT say she was the perfect candidate, and she does NOT place the blame on others for her loss. Rather, she clearly admits when and how mistakes were made, how she earnestly sought to understand the needs and desires of ALL Americans, and how she continuously revisits campaign moments, wondering how she could have done it differently. This is an honest, touching, and well-written memoir of a woman who put it all on the line for her country. Great read and would recommend 100%.
What happened to Hillary Rodham Clinton is much like what happened with this book. Nothing. A woman in politics thinks she is going to be president and loses. This is her talking to herself and cleaning house to keep the pain of defeat at bay. Just my opinion. Another book bites the dust. Will anyone care in 20 years about this book?
It's a pity party for Hillary. She should have kept her internal thoughts to herself.I liked her before I started reading this.
