Summary
2018 Audie Award Finalist for Autobiography/Memoir and Excellence in Marketing
"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." (Hillary Rodham Clinton, from the introduction of What Happened)
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 this audiobook 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 listeners 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.

Clinton lets us into her world. She provides feminist leadership in a world of double standards. I really enjoyed this book.

A good listen
Naturally this book won't be for everyone, but as a Canadian observer of US politics, I found Clinton's book to be intriguing, and very insightful. In particular, her observations on what women face in political life - and indeed in all aspects of life - were frank, trenchant and fair-minded. Those who voted against her, whether in the primaries or in the general election, will doubtless find much to mock or critique, but I think her story is interesting and worth listening to.

Politics Buffs will love this.
Hilary Clinton is just what the world needs. A thorough investigation that is professional and personable, into the US election.

Should have been called “Why you should have voted for me”
Because that’s what it is. We learn very little about why Mrs. Clinton lost other than that it is everyone else’s fault. It’s still an interesting book especially for those of us who watched the race from across the ocean, but it is blatantly mistitled. If you were hoping for soul searching and a resolution on how to do a better job next time, this is not your book. I for one was hoping for more details and explanations for some of the more blatant inconsistencies and foul ups of the campaign that alienated voters - but according to Mrs. Clinton her only failing was that she was too polite at times. Everyone else does however end up with a fair amount of egg on their face including Sanders and all his followers which the author seems convinced were all idiots anyway and Mr. Sanders’ only appeal was in oversimplification. The arrogance is absolutely staggering and so is the fundamental lack of understanding of many, many voters. After the book I do indeed understand better why Mrs. Clinton lost, but for none of the reasons the book tries to sell.

Brilliant and incredibly scary
Totally unbelievable that she never became president.
USA, you sure messed up there! So very scary that this was non fiction with the goings on with Russia and FBI.

Moving and poignant
Irrespective of your political views, this is a must read. It is often moving, bittersweet, however humorous and wry. A unique perspective from the source herself.

insightful and revealling
Completely worth reading and helpful if you find yourself baffled by the loss of the Clinton campaign. A little too polite for me (thats politics I suppose) sexism and misogyny aren't mentioned until half way through the book. I'm with her though.
