The New York Times–bestselling memoir by a journalist covering the female presidential candidate is “The Devil Wears Prada meets The Boys on the Bus” (New York Times).

For a decade, award–winning New York Times journalist Amy Chozick chronicled Hillary Clinton’s pursuit of the presidency. Chozick’s front-row seat, initially covering Clinton’s imploding 2008 campaign, and then her assignment to “The Hillary Beat” ahead of the 2016 election, set off a nearly ten-years-long journey in which her twenties and thirties became—both personally and professionally – intrinsically intertwined to Clinton’s presidential ambitions.

Chozick’s clear-eyed perspective—from her seat on the Hillary bus and reporting from inside the campaign’s headquarters, to her run-ins with Donald J. Trump and her globetrotting with Bill Clinton—provide fresh insights into the story we thought we all knew, with the kind of inside details that repeatedly surprise and enlighten.

But Chasing Hillary is also a refreshingly honest personal story of how the would-be first woman president looms over Chozick’s life. And, as she gets married, attempts to infiltrate the upper echelons of political journalism and inquires about freezing her eggs so she can have children after the 2016 campaign, Chozick dives deeper into decisions Clinton made at similar points in her life.

Trailing Clinton through all of the highs and lows of the most noxious and wildly dramatic presidential election in American history, Chozick comes to understand what drove Clinton, how she accomplished what no woman had before, and why she ultimately failed. Poignant, illuminating, laugh-out-loud funny, Chasing Hillary is a campaign book like never before.

“[A] funny, raw and female take on the campaign memoir.” —People

“Poignant, insightful . . . perceptive, pithy, and surprising.” —Washington Post

Descrição do produto

Contracapa

For nearly a decade, award-winning New York Times journalist Amy Chozick chronicled Hillary Clinton's pursuit of the presidency. Chozick's assignments, covering Clinton's imploding 2008 campaign and then her front-row seat to the 2016 election on the "Hillary Beat," set off a years-long journey in which the author's formative years became intrinsically intertwined with Clinton's presidential ambitions.

In this rollicking, hilarious narrative, Chozick takes us through the high- (and low-) lights of the most noxious and dramatic presidential race in American history. Chozick's candor and clear-eyed perspective--from her seat on the Hillary bus and reporting from inside the campaign's Brooklyn headquarters to her run-ins with Donald J. Trump--provide fresh intrigue and insights into the story we all thought we knew.

But Chasing Hillary is also the moving memoir of how Chozick came to understand Clinton not as an unknowable enigma and political animal, but as a complete, complex person full of contradictions and forged in the crucible of political battles that had long predated Chozick's years covering her. As Chozick gets engaged, married, and climbs the professional ladder, she dives deeper into decisions Clinton had made at similar points in her own early career. In the process, Chozick develops an intimate understanding of what drives Clinton, how she accomplished what no woman had before, and why she ultimately failed.

Fabulous, funny, gossipy and useful chronicle of Clinton's run for the presidency - a must-read

Avaliado nos Estados Unidos em 25 de abril de 2018

Amy Chozick's "Chasing Hillary" is 400 fabulous pages explaining HRC's 2016 campaign and why a caring (for the less fortunate) but cold (in person) candidate and tight-ass aides conspired to screw up Election 2016 and pull defeat from the jaws of victory.

I pulled one of my few almost-all-nighters since college to read "Chasing Hillary" and it was worth the lost sleep. Academics sniff that journalists are unworthy of capturing other than the "first draft of history" (Philip L. Graham, WaPost). Sometimes journos do it better. You can't understand big city politics unless you read Mike (Chicago Daily News, Chicago Sun-Times, Chicago Tribune) Royko's "Boss" (Chicago Mayor Richard Daley, the one who unleashed cops on the 1968 convention demonstrators) and "CH" does the same thing exploring the Clinton side of the 2016 election.

Some of the anecdotes and insider explanations had a serious theme. Not all:

* Hillary comes across better in small groups where you get to see her passion for a better world, but she so disliked interaction with journalists that she flew to campaign stops in a separate plane and screwed herself out of chances for casual one-on-ones that might have helped reporters explain her better. That is, Hillary stuck it to herself.

* The better Chozick's NYT stories got, the more the campaign froze her out. At one presser, she was not called on but Fox News was, twice. At an off the record pizza and beer gathering, she wound up one empty seat away from Clinton and/but an aide immediately grabbed the spot to visually block her.

* In the roughly 3 years covering HRC leading up to election 2016, she and the candidate had one-on-ones only a handful of times, one "one on one" being when when Hillary walked in on Chozick in an unlocked bathroom door.

* A young staffer at times followed Chozick everywhere including into the (multi-stall) bathroom during a Clinton Global Initiative forum. Which Chozick wrote about as another example of a control-freak atmosphere and/but later worried that the story would ruin the young woman's chance of having a career in DC after that. See, the author does have a heart.

* (Post publication) Chelsea Clinton complained the book got it wrong after CC told a magazine (in Chozick's words) Chelsea's "curls just naturally subsided in her early twenties, an affront to frizzy-haired women everywhere," including Chozick. Chelsea must have missed the book's sourcing: "I [Chozick] also happened to know her [Chelsea's] New York hairdresser and [know] a keratin job when I saw it." Bang, Chelsea, gotcha. Chelsea apparently saw herself as being a serious player in a Hillary presidency, much as (sorry, Chelsea, this is a little unfair to you) Ivanka Trump saw herself, and you know how that's turning out. Chelsea probably didn't like the campaign aides' portrayal of her as a bit out of control, a bit full of herself, and probably did not like one aide saying she was "raised by wolves."

* The campaign disliked Chozick because she (and her editors) too often got to the heart of the matter on, say, how Hillary needed to change her campaign style. (HRC needed to; the campaign just didn't want it public.) That was the story headlined, “Hillary to Show More Humor and Heart, Aides Say.” It led to a joke (and title of one of the chapters), "Spontanaeity Is Embargoed Until 4:00 p.m."

* Chozick worried in retrospect that the NY Times overplayed the WikiLeaks story knowing know that Russia had a hand in the leaks and that it may have tilted the election toward Trump.

Chozick also shares some tangential information about being on the campaign, most of all deciding in 2014 when she's in her 30s to put off for 3 years having a baby so she could cover Election 2016. She is self-deprecating ("I'd spent my midtwenties dating an Italian filmmaker who my friends pointed out was more like a homeless man with a camcorder.") She notes the majority of the ~20 main HRC 2016 press pool were women, perhaps because whether they privately supported Hillary or not (most did, but then so did most of the press following Trump), they were obsessed with covering the story of FWP, the possible first woman president.

Good read. Get the book.

What a fine book! an amazing insight into the modern American political process, the interplay of wealth and power and a clear concise description of how Hilary Clinton blew it and why there may never be a woman president .
All this written in a funny engaging style which makes the book hard to put down, read it in two days and am reading it again. Well done Amy!

So, what is so great about this book (I have the cheaper Kindle version)? For starters, I'm only in the first half of it, but I like it so much I have to share my impression right away, as there is no review on amazon.fr yet. Amy Chozick's trick is that she's underestimated by the political circus she writes about. She often comes across as sort of a little hippy girl who's completely out of place, but then she hits where it seems to hurt. I mean, there must be a reason she's working as a political reporter for the New York Times.

It's true that the book is a lot about her, better still, it's about her life on the campaign trail. There is some stuff we europeans can't get, you must probably live in the states for that, but luckily she does not start with Adam and Eve, she does not care to explain to us european readers the acronyms she sometimes uses, for exemple. Seeing the HRC campaign through her eyes makes for a passionate reading, and, as I already states, I simply can't put this book down. As a person who reads always several books at a time, this is the highest compliment.

Start by downloading the Kindle sample and see for yourself.

Alternate Political Universe

Avaliado na Alemanha em 14 de maio de 2018

This is not really a book about Hillary Clinton's campaign to become president, but more the personal record of the life of one reporter on this campaign trail. However, reading this book one gets an idea why Donald Trump defeated Hillary Clinton to become president: he was not living in a bubble.

He had no plan, but self-confidence enough to ignore all experts; with her it was just the opposite. And the author in the end feels guilty for reporting it; she wanted Hillary to be FTW – first woman president. It did not happen.

In a way this here tale from an alternate universe of media people and their political vis-à-vis comes almost as a shock. Reading this book one realizes that the people behind all those grand words in print or on screen are… well, shallow.

The candidate, her handlers, the journalists attached to her: they all are like passengers of a lifeboat adrift on the ocean. Real life is under the surface - but they do not care to get wet. Whereas the Donald enjoyed splashing everyone….

The book is quite easy to read, almost a page-turner if only for dedicated Clinton-followers/haters and campaign-aficionados. But do not expect too many new insights.
