Hillary Clinton dominated Amy Chozick's life for more than a decade. Here, she tells the inside story of Clinton's pursuit of the US presidency in a campaign book like no other.
‘A breathtaking, page-turning masterpiece' Mary Karr
In this rollicking, hilarious narrative, Chozick takes us through the high- and low-lights of the most noxious and dramatic presidential election in history. Chozick's candour and clear-eyed perspective – from her seat on the Hillary bus and reporting from inside the campaign's headquarters to her run-ins with Donald J. Trump – provide fresh intrigue and insights into the story we think we all know.
But Chasing Hillary is also the unusually personal and moving memoir of how Chozick came to understand Clinton not as a political animal, but as a complete, complex person, full of contradictions and forged in the crucible of many earlier battles. In the process, Chozick develops an intimate understanding of what drives Clinton, how she accomplished what no woman had before, and why she ultimately failed.
The results also make Chozick question everything she'd worked so hard for in the first place. Political journalism had failed. The elite world Chozick had tried for years to fit in with had been rebuffed. The less qualified, bombastic man had triumphed (as they always seem to do), and Clinton had retreated to the woods, finally showing the real person Chozick had spent years hoping to see. Illuminating, poignant, laugh-out-loud funny, Chasing Hillary is a campaign book unlike any other that reads like a fast-moving political novel.

Industry Reviews
`Chasing Hillary [is] so wickedly readable: like Michael Wolff's Fire and Fury it's a nonfiction novel'
Peter Conrad, Observer
`Grudges, mis-steps and battles with the press corps are revealed in a searing account of Hillary Clinton's failed presidential campaign' Edward Luce, Financial Times
`Riveting... This book is in part a memoir and Chozick's first person voice is funny and readable' Suzy Hansen, Guardian
`A funny, insightful memoir...With her lively voice and eye for detail, "Chasing Hillary" is an enjoyable read, like The Devil Wears Prada meets The Boys on the Bus' Charlotte Alter, New York Times
`Amy Chozick has written a breathtaking, page-turning masterpiece that pretends to be about Hillary Clinton's defiant presidential run. But Chasing Hillary is also - for the brilliant Chozick - a deeply personal story. Wait till you get the gory, insider details of the bloodiest political battle in recent memory. A must read!' Mary Karr
`Amy Chozick sweeps us along on a ten-year chase after the most famous and elusive woman in modern politics. At the bittersweet end, she captures Hillary, and America, and the traveling press, and some part of herself.' David Maraniss
`This insanely readable book manages to bring humor and a fresh inside perspective to the saddest event in history. The details alone are sure to drive Democrats to fisticuffs, or whatever we do when the kale runs out.' Gary Shteyngart
