"Noonan offers a searing analysis of what she sees as the emptiness of HRC's political platform and the mountain of questions about her past that remain unanswered." Publishers Weekly
As the long, scandal-ridden trial of the Clinton years is over, it is time for a summation. What is the legacy of Clintonism? What is there in Hillary Clinton's background, talents, or record of achievement that qualifies her to represent New York in the U.S. Senate? Where will her ambition lead her next? Peggy Noonan, one of our most astute political observers and a speechwriter for the Reagan White House, argues in this passionate and compelling book that everyone in the United States, not just New Yorkers, must look closely at Hillary and the implications of her Senate run. Noonan takes the measure of the woman, the candidate, and the striving politician, and offers a convincing argument that her calculated bid for power constitutes the first truly important election of the new millennium.
