Hillary Clinton is calling her new book What Happened and promises unprecedented candour as she remembers her stunning defeat last year to U.S. President Donald Trump.
Simon & Schuster said that Ms. Clinton’s book will be a highly personal work that also is a “cautionary tale” about Russian interference in last year’s election and its threat to democracy.
In public remarks since last fall, the Democrat has cited Russia as a factor in her defeat to her Republican opponent, along with a letter sent by then-FBI Director James Comey less than two weeks before the election.
Mr. Comey’s letter, sent to Congress on Oct. 28, said the FBI “learned of the existence of emails that appear to be pertinent to the investigation” into the private email server that Ms. Clinton used as Secretary of State.
Days later, Mr. Comey wrote that the FBI did not find anything new.
Clinton was the first woman nominated for president by a major party in an election in the US.
What Happened is scheduled to come out September 12. Ms. Clinton’s previous works include the 2003 memoir Living History, published while she was a U.S. senator from New York, and a book about her years as secretary of state, Hard Choices, which came out in 2014 as she prepared to launch her presidential candidacy.
She also wrote It Takes a Village - And Other Lessons Children Teach Us when she was U.S. First Lady.
Ms. Clinton’s upcoming memoir isn’t the first political book to be called What Happened. Scott
McClellan, a former White House press secretary during the George W. Bush administration, released a book with the same title in 2008.
Mr. McClellan’s memoir was an unexpectedly critical take on his former boss that became a bestseller.
