What Happened
Autor Hillary Rodham Clintonen Limba Engleză Paperback – 18 sep 2018
Imagineați-vă o seară de noiembrie în care certitudinile unei vieți de serviciu public se prăbușesc sub greutatea unui rezultat neașteptat. Relația dintre Hillary Rodham Clinton și subiectul acestui volum nu este una de simplu observator, ci este legătura viscerală a protagonistului care, pentru prima dată, decide să coboare de pe „sârma fără plasă de siguranță” a diplomației pentru a vorbi fără menajamente. Suntem de părere că această onestitate brutală transformă memoriile dintr-un raport politic într-o confesiune umană despre reziliență. Subliniem faptul că, spre deosebire de Hard Choices, unde Clinton analiza riguros crizele globale din perioada mandatului de Secretar de Stat, în What Happened ea își permite luxul vulnerabilității, discutând deschis despre sexismul sistemic și greșelile tactice care au marcat campania din 2016. Credem că forța textului rezidă în modul în care autoarea conectează punctele unei conspirații politice complexe cu detaliile intime ale procesului său de vindecare. În aceeași familie cu HRC, volumul adaugă o perspectivă internă indispensabilă, oferind răspunsuri acolo unde analiștii externi puteau doar să speculeze. Tonul alternează între analiza clinică a interferențelor externe și un umor sec, aproape autoironic, oferind o imagine completă a ceea ce înseamnă să fii o femeie puternică într-o arenă care încă pedepsește ambiția feminină. Dacă în State of Terror autoarea explora pericolele geopolitice prin prisma ficțiunii, aici ea pune cititorul în fața unei realități mai stranii decât orice scenariu de thriller.

Descriere scurtă
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.

Descriere
‘It is a compelling read’ - The Financial Times.
‘a sporadically absorbing, pleasingly vengeful and often darkly funny account of one woman’s bid for presidential history.’ The Sunday Times,

‘What Happened is highly entertaining. It is spirited, well-written and informative.’ The Guardian
'In the past, for reasons I try to explain, I’ve often felt I had to be careful in public, like I was up on a wire without a net. Now I’m letting my guard down.' - Hillary Rodham Clinton, from the introduction of What Happened
