On November 8, 2016, about 65 million Americans marked their ballots for Hillary Rodham Clinton. She won the popular vote by three million votes, but Donald J. Trump prevailed in the Electoral College. Clinton’s failure wasn’t the only tidal shift: Did America suddenly lurch across the boundary that divides democracy from authoritarianism? In this autobiographical account, Clinton strives to answer this question as well as to explain her electoral defeat. The former first lady, US senator and secretary of state vacillates between shouldering the blame and allocating it to a gallery of scoundrels, “deplorables” and dupes, along with a series of dismaying cultural trends. In her effort to be candid, Clinton sometimes betrays her own self-involvement and entitlement. Some passages verge on embarrassing as she seems to involve readers in her process of grief and sense-making. But given the epochal significance of the election, Americans and posterity should understand “what happened.” Hillary Clinton’s narrative offers her own perspective, which proves indispensable.
