(The book does not reveal.) She recalls attending Trump’s wedding in 2005, back when he was just “like a lot of big-shot real estate guys in the city, only more flamboyant and self-promoting”.

I remember wanting a dose of whatever she was on.

The book begins with a recounting of Donald Trump’s inauguration, which she attended, smiling. Her new book is more gossipy, it is meaner, more entertaining and more wrong-headed than anything she or her speechwriters have written before. Those books tried to sell a wise and relatable candidate to the public, while playing down controversies. What Happened is quite different from Clinton’s careful, tedious autobiographies. After 25 years in the public eye, she simply could not leave the political arena, and her campaign memoir would play prelude to the next phase, no matter how badly US politics needed new blood. What Happened is the story of that campaign and its aftermath-both a deeply intimate account and a cautionary tale for the nation.T he announcement of an autopsy by Hillary Clinton of the 2016 election raised a distressing possibility: the defeated candidate was back. The election of 2016 was unprecedented and historic. By analyzing the evidence and connecting the dots, Hillary shows just how dangerous the forces were that shaped the outcome, and why Americans need to understand them to protect our values and our democracy in the future. She lays out how the 2016 election was marked by an unprecedented assault on our democracy by a foreign adversary. She speaks about 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. With humor and candor, 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 these pages, she 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 afterwards. Now free from the constraints of running, Hillary takes you 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.
