Shattered is aptly named because this is the story of what turned out to be the Clinton run for president in 2016.
Trump is in. Hillary somehow missed the mark. What happened
and why?
Critics saw her reluctance to use “we” --like Bernie Sanders
and Donald Trump and so many other candidates did—as evidence that her campaign
was all about her, the book says. She would tend to speak about “I’ and “you”
but almost never “we”
Also, she never took the blame for what happened. The email problem
was not because she disclosed classified information on a non-government
server. Oh, no. It was a private server, she says. For a smart woman, she must have known that
any cyber-message becomes cyber-junk. Anyone can read it.
And her opponent in
Bernie Sanders drew her away from her message.
The major problem was that Hillary couldn’t flex. She felt
the rules of what worked in the past would work today. She also had a temper
that is unbecoming of a candidate.
Allen and Parnes write a chronological structured account of
the campaign run by Hillary. It is a book for those who want a report of just
how Hillary ran her race.
I felt satisfied. I think if you were to read this book you
would be also.
This book was sent to me gratis from Blogging for Books to be
reviewed.
The book is published by Crown and retails for $28.00.
