Résumé : |
Hillary Clinton over de meest onvoorspelbare presidentsverkiezingen uit de geschiedenis In What Happened vertelt Hillary Clinton het ware verhaal over de onvoorspelbare en dramatische presidentsverkiezingsstrijd met Donald Trump in 2016. In deze Nederlandstalige uitgave schrijft de eerste vrouwelijke kandidate voor het Witte Huis wat de campagne, Russische inmenging, een tegenstander waarvoor regels niet lijken te bestaan en het onverwachte verlies met haar deden. In het verleden had ik vaak het gevoel dat ik voorzichtig moest zijn in het openbaar. Alsof ik moest koorddansen zonder vangnet. Dat gevoel laat ik nu compleet varen. Ik zal alles vertellen.’ - Hillary Rodham Clinton. Bevrijd van alle beperkingen in politiek opzicht schrijft Hillary Clinton in What Happened over door haar gemaakte fouten, de kritiek, de negatieve afloop en hoe ze uiteindelijk weer sterker uit de strijd is gekomen; een interessant boek voor iedereen die wil begrijpen wat er in 2016 écht is gebeurd. --------------------------- Hillary Clinton's new book of essays of stories from her life, up to and including her experiences in the 2016 presidential campaign, has been inspired by the hundreds of quotations she has been collecting for decades: "These are the words I live by. These quotes have helped me celebrate the good times, laugh at the absurd times, persevere during the hard times, and deepen my appreciation of all life has to offer. I hope by sharing these words and my thoughts about them, the essays will be meaningful for readers."--Hillary Clinton. The former secretary of state relates her experiences as the first woman candidate nominated for president by a major party, discussing the sexism, criticism, and double standards she had to confront, and how she coped with a devastating loss. "'In the past, for reasons I try to explain, I've often felt I had to be careful in public, like I was up on a wire without a net. Now I'm letting my guard down.' For the first time, Hillary Rodham Clinton reveals what she was thinking and feeling during one of the most controversial and unpredictable presidential elections in history. Now free from the constraints of running, Hillary takes you inside the intense personal experience of becoming the first woman nominated for president by a major party in an election marked by rage, sexism, exhilarating highs and infuriating lows, stranger-than-fiction twists, Russian interference, and an opponent who broke all the rules. This is her most personal memoir yet. In these pages, she describes what it was like to run against Donald Trump, the mistakes she made, how she has coped with a shocking and devastating loss, and how she found the strength to pick herself back up afterward. With humor and candor, she tells readers what it took to get back on her feet--the rituals, relationships, and reading that got her through, and what the experience has taught her about life. She speaks about the challenges of being a strong woman in the public eye, the criticism over her voice, age, and appearance, and the double standard confronting women in politics. She lays out how the 2016 election was marked by an unprecedented assault on our democracy by a foreign adversary. By analyzing the evidence and connecting the dots, Hillary shows just how dangerous the forces are that shaped the outcome, and why Americans need to understand them to protect our values and our democracy in the future. The election of 2016 was unprecedented and historic. What Happened is the story of that campaign and its aftermath--both a deeply intimate account and a cautionary tale for the nation." |
