PBS World Channel National Broadcast: Virginia, Sept. 17, 2017/Nationally, Sept. 20, 2017

Through deep access to insiders from the campaign, political writers Jonathan Allen and Amie Parnes have reconstructed the key decisions and unseized opportunities, as well as the well-intentioned misfires of Hillary Clinton’s 2016 presidential run. Drawing on the authors' deep knowledge of Hillary from their previous book, HRC, Shattered argues that Hillary herself made victory an uphill battle, how her difficulty articulating a vision affected her impact with voters, and how the campaign failed to internalize the lessons of populist fury from the hard-fought primary against Bernie Sanders. Jonathan Allen has covered national politics for Politico, Bloomberg, and Vox. He is the head of community and content for Sidewire, and writes a weekly political column for Roll Call. Amie Parnes is the senior White House correspondent for The Hill newspaper in Washington. She covered Hillary Clinton during the campaign and is now covering the Trump administration. A book signing will follow their presentation.
