New York Times bestseller The Devil Wears Prada meets The Boys on the Bus-New York Times The
dishy rollicking and deeply personal story of what really happened in the 2016 election as
seen through the eyes of the New York Times reporter who gave eight years of her life to
covering the First Woman President who wasn't. For a decade award-winning New York Times
journalist Amy Chozick chronicled Hillary Clinton's pursuit of the presidency. Chozick's
front-row seat initially covering Clinton's imploding 2008 campaign and then her assignment
to The Hillary Beat ahead of the 2016 election took her to 48 states and set off a nearly
ten-years-long journey in which the formative years of her twenties and thirties became - both
personally and professionally - intrinsically intertwined to Clinton's presidential ambitions.
Chozick's candor and clear-eyed perspective-from her seat on the Hillary bus and reporting from
inside the campaign's Brooklyn headquarters to her run-ins with Donald J. Trump and her
globetrotting with Bill Clinton- provide fresh intrigue and insights into the story we thought
we all knew. This is the real story of what happened with the kind of dishy inside details
that repeatedly surprise and enlighten. But Chasing Hillary is also a rollicking irreverent
refreshingly honest personal story of how the would-be first woman president looms over
Chozick's life. And as she gets married attempts to infiltrate the upper echelons of
political journalism and inquires about freezing her eggs so she can have children after the
2016 campaign Chozick dives deeper into decisions Clinton made at similar points in her life.
In the process Chozick came to see Clinton not as an unknowable enigma and political animal
but as a complex person full of contradictions and forged in the political battles and media
storms that had long predated Chozick's years of coverage. Trailing Clinton through all of the
highs and lows of the most noxious and wildly dramatic presidential election in American
history Chozick comes to understand what drove Clinton how she accomplished what no woman had
before and why she ultimately failed. Poignant illuminating laugh-out-loud funny Chasing
Hillary is a campaign book like never before that reads like a fast-moving political novel.
