Review

New York Times Bestseller

USA Today Bestseller


"Books on contemporary political figures rarely have pinpoint timing, but this one does... [Allen and Parnes's] most persausive accomplishment is to show, backed by impressive detail, the ways in which Clinton never really abandoned domestic politics." –Jodi Kantor, New York Times Book Review

"[HRC] provides useful context and intelligent analysis, and a highly readable account of her tenure at Foggy Bottom... pumped full of colorful you-are-there details." –Michiko Kakutani, New York Times

"Deeply reported... a revealing window into the le Carré-like layers of intrigue that develop when a celebrity politician who is married to another celebrity politician loses to yet another celebrity politician, and goes on to serve the politician who defeated her." –Washington Post

"HRC: State Secrets and the Rebirth of Hillary Clinton manages the rare feat of being both important and entertaining. It opens with a juicy chapter detailing the punishment and reward of Bill and Hillary’s political enemies and friends. But the meat of HRC is its narration of her role in tackling crises in Afghanistan, Iran, Pakistan, and Libya — an amazingly tumultuous period that provides the best preview of what a Hillary Clinton presidency might look like, at least for foreign policy." –New York magazine

"A character-driven psychodrama, chockablock with sweaty descriptions of its players… It's no easy feat to wring page-turning narrative juice from four years of state craft, but Allen and Parnes have relied on 200 sources…to get them the gossipy goods."—Los Angeles Times
 
"A thoroughly reported and well-written chronicle of Clinton’s comeback and her tenure at the State Department." –Christian Science Monitor

I've long been a kind of reluctant fan of Hillary Clinton. Although I don't agree with many of her political views, she's clearly extremely bright, focused and tough. "HRC: State Secrets and the Rebirth of Hillary Clinton" highlights those qualities, but also presents a woman who is politically flexible, compassionate and spiritual as well. And, that's the problem with the book. "HRC:…" is written about a working politician, and depends far too much on unattributed quotes from other working politicians who undoubtedly expect to work in a possible Clinton administration. Their memories, while probably not intentionally false, nonetheless appear to me to be filtered through rose-colored glasses. What we get is a picture of a public servant that is too good to be true. Unfortunately, I think we'll have to wait until Secretary Clinton has retired from public life, or lost the nomination in 2016, to begin getting a clear analysis of her public service.

It goes without saying that, regardless of the title, the book presents no special insights into "state secrets", or of how decisions are made. Having said that, this is still an interesting book. I particularly liked the sections dealing with Bill and Hillary's "enemies" list. Every serious politician keeps track of other politicians. Politics is a zero-sum game, with every election having a winner and a loser, and the successful politician becomes proficient at picking and staying close to the winners. It's unusual for two super-stars, like Bill and Hillary, to be on one team, but together they present a fearsome prospect for any candidate that might want to challenge Hillary for the 2016 nomination.
