HER WAY has already sent shockwaves through the election season, influencing the decisions of voters, providing pundits with tons of ammunition, and forcing Hillary Clinton's camp to answer some difficult question.
The first truly balancaed investigation into her life and career, Jeff Gerth and Don Van Natta Jr.'s masterful biography takes readers from the dorm rooms at Wellesley to the courthouses of Arkansas and Washington; to the White House and role as First Lady like none nother; inside the back rooms of the Senate, where she expertly navigates the political and legislative shoals; to her multimillion-dollar mansion in Washington, where she presides over an unparalleled fundraising maching; and to her war room, from which she orchestrates ferocious attacks on her critics.
Now in paperback, HER WAY features an incisive and illuminating new afterword that sheds light on the aftermath of Senator Clinton's historic run.

Gerth and Van Natta are not the most neutral of guides:
The prologue to Jeff Gerth and Don Van Natta Jr.'s book ends with two ominous-sounding sentences: "For decades, Hillary and Bill Clinton, along with a core group of friends and supporters, have told one story. Now it is time for another." Ouch! That tone of literary voice will certainly set off alarm bells among Hillary Rodham Clinton's legions of admirers.
