And yet, six years later, she has reemerged as an even more powerful and influential figure, a formidable stateswoman and the presumed front-runner for the 2016 Democratic presidential nomination, marking one of the great political comebacks in history. The story of Hillary's phoenixlike rise is at the heart of HRC, a riveting political biography that journeys into the heart of "Hillaryland" to discover a brilliant strategist at work. Masterfully unfolded by Politico's Jonathan Allen and The Hill's Amie Parnes from more than two hundred top-access interviews with Hillary's intimates, colleagues, supporters, and enemies, HRC portrays a seasoned operator who negotiates political and diplomatic worlds with equal savvy. Loathed by the Obama team in the wake of the primary, Hillary worked to become the president's greatest ally, their fates intertwined in the work of reestablishing America on the world stage. HRC puts readers in the room with Hillary during the most intense and pivotal moments of this era, as she mulls the president-elect's offer to join the administration, pulls the strings to build a coalition for his war against Libya, and scrambles to deal with the fallout from the terrible events in Benghazi--all while keeping one eye focused on 2016. HRC offers a rare look inside the merciless Clinton political machine, as Bill Clinton handled the messy business of avenging Hillary's primary loss while she tried to remain above the partisan fray. Exploring her friendships and alliances with Robert Gates, David Petraeus, Leon Panetta, Joe Biden, and the president himself, Allen and Parnes show how Hillary fundamentally transformed the State Department through the force of her celebrity and her unparalleled knowledge of how power works in Washington. Filled with deep reporting and Game Change-esque storytelling, this remarkable portrait of the most important female politician in American history is an essential inside look at the woman who may be our next president"-- |cProvided by publisher. 520 "An examination of the strategy behind Hillary Clinton's political revitalization and her comeback in the US and abroad"-- |cProvided by publisher. 505 0 Introduction -- Hillary's hit list -- "Be gracious in defeat" -- Calculated risk -- Us and them -- "Bloom where you're planted" -- First among equals -- "We did it, buddy" -- "Use me like an app" -- Obama girl -- Promise and peril -- Below the waterline -- Hillary's politics -- The HRC brand -- The bill comes due -- Benghazi -- "Road warrior" -- Please don't go -- Four dead Americans -- "Out of politics"-- for now -- Ready for Hillary -- The last glass ceiling -- Epilogue. 600 10 Clinton, Hillary Rodham. |=^A315485 650 0 Women presidential candidates |zUnited States |vBiography. |=^A879541 650 0 Presidential candidates |zUnited States |vBiography. |=^A182381 650 0 Women cabinet officers |zUnited States |vBiography. |=^A1023950 650 0 Cabinet officers |zUnited States |vBiography. |=^A105984 651 0 United States |xPolitics and government |y2009-2017 |=^A1000545 651 0 United States |xForeign relations |y2009-2017 |=^A1000530 650 7 BIOGRAPHY & AUTOBIOGRAPHY / Political. |2bisacsh 650 7 POLITICAL SCIENCE / Political Process / Leadership. |2bisacsh 700 1 Parnes, Amie. |=^A1187190 856 42 |3Cover image |u9780804136754.jpg 938 Baker and Taylor |bBTCP |nBK0013540263 938 YBP Library Services |bYANK |n10828876 938 Brodart |bBROD |n104500166 938 Coutts Information Services |bCOUT |n25765133 994 C0 |bERE 596 1 998 3437213
