What Happened is a 2017 book by Hillary Rodham Clinton about her experiences as the Democratic Party's nominee for President of the United States in the 2016 election.[1] Published on September 12, 2017, it is her seventh book with her publisher, Simon & Schuster.[2]
The New York Times wrote that the stated aim of the book was to "offer an intimate view of what it was like for Mrs. Clinton to run as the first female presidential candidate from a major party in United States history, in an often vicious and turbulent campaign. Her third memoir, following 2003's Living History and 2014's Hard Choices, advance publicity for the work said it would be her "most personal" yet[1] and quoted from her words in the book's Introduction: “In the past, for reasons I try to explain, I’ve often felt I had to be careful in public, like I was up on a wire without a net. Now I’m letting my guard down.”[1] Media outlets from the Associated Press to The Guardian to Politico framed Clinton's promise of a new level of candor as a major theme of the initial publicity surrounding the book.[3][4][2] The work is also said to include some self-help ideas about how to get past highly unpleasant experiences.[5]
Existence of a new Clinton work was first revealed in February 2017, but at the time it was billed as a volume of essays centered around the author's favorite sayings, with only some allusions to the campaign.[6][4][7] Financial terms of that work, which had no announced title, were not publicly disclosed but industry observers expected her monetary compensation to be large.[8] The book blames Clinton's electoral loss on James Comey, Vladimir Putin, Barack Obama, the media, Bernie Sanders and his supporters, Green Party candidate Jill Stein, sexism, white resentment, and Clinton herself.[9] The new purposing of the work and its thematic substance were revealed in July 2017.[7][2]
