She is one of the most influential and recognizable figures in our country, perhaps the single most divisive individual in our political landscape. She is the subject of both hagiography and vitriolic smear jobs. But although dozens of books have been written about her, none of them have come close to uncovering the real Hillary– personal, political, in all her complications. Now, Pulitzer Prize-winning New York Times reporters Jeff Gerth and Don Van Natta bring us the first comprehensive portrait of the most fascinating and controversial woman in American politics. Drawing upon documents and sources that no other reporters have ever accessed, Gerth and Van Natta will forever change the way you think about Hillary.

The untold story of Hillary Clinton's road to the White House, both alongside her husband and in her own fight for the presidency.
As a former first lady and current presidential candidate, a New Englander with roots in the Midwest, a former Republican and now an influential Democrat, Hillary Clinton is far from one-dimensional. Her Way is the untold story of her road to the White House, both alongside her husband and in her own fight for the presidency. Growing up with a Republican father and a Democrat mother, she was torn between “her father’s insistence on self-reliance and her mom’s concerns for social justice.” In college, she was the president of the Young Republicans Club, but it wasn’t until the advent of the Vietnam War that she realized she might be a Democrat after all. This biography doesn’t sidestep the difficult issues: it dives deep into Bill Clinton’s numerous affairs, Hillary’s fight to be taken seriously as the First Lady, and spends ample time on what authors Garth and Van Natta call "the loneliest and most difficult year of [Hillary's] life" during the Lewinsky allegations. Singer tells the story with both compassion and impartiality, giving ample credence to Hillary's side of the story.
