What Happened

by Hillary Rodham Clinton,
The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, September 29, 2017

In “What Happened,” Hillary Rodham Clinton tries to explain why she lost the presidential election of 2016 without seeming bitter, defensive, or shifting blame away from herself. Her book contains an account of the extraordinarily divisive campaign, insights into Ms. Clinton’s personality, character, and values, and the challenges confronting women in politics. In the end, the task she has set for herself turned out to be difficult, if not impossible, to accomplish.
