Summary:
For nearly a decade, Amy Chozick chronicled Hillary Clinton’s quest for the presidency. Chozick’s front-row chair, initially on the Wall Road Journal covering Mrs. Clinton’s imploding 2008 marketing campaign, and at the New York Occasions where she was designated “The Hillary Defeat”, set off a years-long trip where the formative years of her twenties and thirties became, both individually and expertly, intrinsically intertwined to Clinton’s presidential ambitions. As Mrs. Clinton tried, about Chasing Hillary: Ten Years, Two Presidential Promotions, and One Intact Cup Ceiling and double failed, to shatter “that highest hardest cup ceiling,” Chozick was attempting, with various suits and begins, to scale the highest echelons of American journalism.
Inside a rollicking, hilarious, dishy narrative, Chozick takes us through the high- (and low-) lights of a wildly dramatic presidential competition.

Here is the genuine tale of what happened, with the type of inside details that constantly surprises and enlightens.
But Chasing Hillary is also the unusually personal and moving tale of how Chozick found understand Clinton not as an unknowable enigma and politics animal, but like a comprehensive, complex, person, filled with contradictions and forged in the crucible of political battles that experienced lengthy predated Chozick’s years covering her.

Mrs. Clinton’s shocking defeat would tag the end from the almost imperial hold she’d got on Chozick for some of her professional life. But the outcomes also make Chozick query everything she’d worked so hard for to begin with. Political journalism experienced failed. The top notch world Chozick had tried for years to squeeze in with had been rebuffed. The much less qualified, bombastic man had triumphed, because they always appeared to perform, and Mrs. Clinton acquired retreated to the woods in Chappaqua, N.Con. finally comfortable more than enough to simply walk, no make-up, no pants suit, showing the real person Chozick had spent years expecting to observe. Illuminating, poignant, laugh-out-loud funny, Chasing Hillary can be a campaign book like nothing you’ve seen prior.
