Chasing Hillary

<p><strong><em>New York Times </em>bestseller </strong></p><p><strong><em>The Devil Wears Prada</em> meets <em>The Boys on the Bus</em></strong><em><strong>New York Times</strong> </em></p><p><strong>The dishy, rollicking, and deeply personal story of what <em>really </em>happened in the 2016 election, as seen through the eyes of the<em>New York Times</em>reporter who gave eight years of her life to covering the First Woman President who wasn't.</strong></p><p>For a decade, award-winning <em>New York Times </em>journalist Amy Chozick chronicled Hillary Clintons pursuit of the presidency. Chozicks front-row seat, initially covering Clintons imploding 2008 campaign, and then her assignment to The Hillary Beat ahead of the 2016 election, took her to 48 states and set off a nearly ten-years-long journey in which the formative years of her twenties and thirties became both personally and professionally intrinsically intertwined to Clintons presidential ambitions. </p><p>Chozicks candor and clear-eyed perspectivefrom her seat on the Hillary bus and reporting from inside the campaigns Brooklyn headquarters, to her run-ins with Donald J. Trump and her globetrotting with Bill Clinton provide fresh intrigue and insights into the story we thought we all knew. This is the <em>real</em> story of what happened, with the kind of dishy, inside details that repeatedly surprise and enlighten. </p><p>But <em>Chasing Hillary</em> is also a rollicking, irreverent, refreshingly honest personal story of how the would-be first woman president looms over Chozicks 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.</p><p>In the process, Chozick came to see Clinton not as an unknowable enigma and political animal but as a complex person, full of contradictions and forged in the political battles and media storms that had long predated Chozicks years of coverage.</p><p>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, <em>Chasing Hillary</em> is a campaign book like never before that reads like a fast-moving political novel. </p>
