Reviews"[A] compelling new book... It's the story of a wildly dysfunctional and 'spirit-crushing' campaign that embraced a flawed strategy (based on flawed data) that failed, repeatedly, to correct course... The blow-by-blow details in Shattered are nothing less than devastating... In fact, the portrait of the Clinton campaign that emerges from these pages is that of a Titanic -like disaster: an epic fail made up of a series of perverse and often avoidable missteps by an out-of-touch candidate and her strife-ridden staff." -- New York Times "How did she lose? Providing that answer is the mission accepted by Jonathan Allen and Amie Parnes in Shattered ... They saw and heard far more than most of us, exploring deep inside 'Clintonworld' in search of the real story. And in these pages, they share enough of what they witnessed to enable us to reach our own conclusions... Allen and Parnes offer a first bridge beyond the journalism of the campaign year to the scholarship of the historians and other scholars who will process all this material for generations to come." -- NPR "Told largely through background interviews with campaign staff and a tangle [of] Clinton insiders, the book is a comprehensive chronicle of how her quest for the White House lurched and sputtered toward ignominious defeat... [ Shattered is] richly reported." -- TIME "What Allen and Parnes captured in Shattered was a far more revealing portrait of the Democratic Party intelligentsia than, say, the WikiLeaks dumps. And while the book is profoundly unflattering to Hillary Clinton, the problem it describes really has nothing to do with Secretary Clinton. The real protagonist of this book is a Washington political establishment that has lost the ability to explain itself or its motives to people outside the Beltway... If the ending to this story were anything other than Donald Trump being elected president, Shattered would be an awesome comedy, like a Kafka novel--a lunatic bureaucracy devouring itself. But since the ending is the opposite of funny, it will likely be consumed as a cautionary tale." --Matt Taibbi, Rolling Stone "A riveting account of the final, dreadful hours of Clinton's long pursuit of the presidency... Thanks to Allen and Parnes, we now know how Clinton reacted, at the moment she was supposed to become the first female president." -- Denver Post "[ Shattered ] sheds particular light on the painful turn of events on election night, as Clinton watched the returns deviate dramatically from the path her campaign had so confidently predicted... As the first take on Clinton's doomed campaign, [Allen and Parnes] offer a behind-the-scenes view of the obstacles in her way--some familiar and others a consequence of the shifting American electorate." -- The Guardian "Hillary Clinton's loss at the hands of Donald Trump last November is the single biggest upset in modern presidential politics. I've spent the intervening months trying to understand what Clinton's defeat said about the electorate, about Clinton and about the campaign she ran. Now, there's a book that does all of that for me!" -- CNN "In the last weeks before the election, the Hillary Clinton campaign did no polling... This is one of the thousand revelations in Shattered , the new book by Jonathan Allen and Amie Parnes that, for political junkies, redefines the word 'juicy' for our time... Allen and Parnes pile up headshaking detail after headshaking detail from the very beginning of her campaign to its end." -- New York Post

Synopsis#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER It was never supposed to be this close. And of course she was supposed to win. How Hillary Clinton lost the 2016 election to Donald Trump is the riveting story of a sure thing gone off the rails. For every Comey revelation or hindsight acknowledgment about the electorate, no explanation of defeat can begin with anything other than the core problem of Hillary's campaign--the candidate herself. Through deep access to insiders from the top to the bottom of the campaign, political writers Jonathan Allen and Amie Parnes have reconstructed the key decisions and unseized opportunities, the well-intentioned misfires and the hidden thorns that turned a winnable contest into a devastating loss. Drawing on the authors' deep knowledge of Hillary from their previous book, the acclaimed biography HRC , Shattered offers an object lesson in how Hillary herself made victory an uphill battle, how her difficulty articulating a vision irreparably hobbled her impact with voters, and how the campaign failed to internalize the lessons of populist fury from the hard-fought primary against Bernie Sanders. Moving blow-by-blow from the campaign's difficult birth through the bewildering terror of election night, Shattered tells an unforgettable story with urgent lessons both political and personal, filled with revelations that will change the way readers understand just what happened to America on November 8, 2016., It was never supposed to be this close.

A Wealth of Detail
This book gives a very, very detailed account of Hillary Clinton's campaign for the presidency in 2016. At times the depth of the details is overwhelming--names and backgrounds of dozens upon dozens of aides, campaign employees, advisors, DNC members, and friends of HIllary's and Bill's. That the authors were sympathetic to Hillary's campaign is obvious, but the account is basically straightforward. Of interest is how many of the names reappear as aides, advisors, etc with the Biden/Harris 2024 campaign. At times the book wanders into the weeds of detail, but I found the account sometimes hard to put down--even knowing the final outcome.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Excessive Details!
The flow of the presentation of main theme is truly slow. Excessive minor detail overwhelms the reader and creates a reduction to want more info. This is a "Cause and "Effect" book that could have been much more enjoyable to read with far less minutia to make each point. Regrettably, the authors did not utilize the Law of Parsimony. As a result, the reader "will not" have the feeling of being unable to put the book down. Instead, the reader will feel overwhelmed by excessive minute detail and hypothetical introspection of Hillary and her cast of campaign characters.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Very gossipy, fragmented, full of great information
The people that wrote this talked to so many people, accumulated so much information, and tried to include everything. The result is a book that jumps very rapidly from person to person with most stories lasting half a page or less. It's full of people, full of great stories and covers everything I hoped it would. This is a great political book, great on gossip, and a wonderful bathroom book, too. In short, everything I'd hoped for.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
