国际英语资讯:Hillary Clinton releases tell-all book about her 2016 presidential election defeat

NEW YORK, July 27 -- Hillary Clinton, the former Democratic presidential nominee, is releasing a book titled "What Happened" in which she opens up on her stunning 2016 election defeat to her Republican rival Donald Trump.

The book, to be published by Simon & Schuster in September, will explain how the former secretary of state came up short again in her fight for the White House.

"Writing 'What Happened' was hard, so is what we see every day. As we move forward & fight back, I hope this helps," Clinton posted on her Twitter account on Thursday with a link to the book's page at amazon.com.

"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," Clinton writes in the introduction of What Happened.

"This is her most personal memoir yet," said Simon & Schuster on its Web page for the book in which for the first time Clinton reveals "what she was thinking and feeling during one of the most controversial and uNPRedictable presidential elections in history."

"Now free from the constraints of running, Hillary takes you inside the intense personal experience of becoming the first woman nominated for president by a major party in an election marked by rage, sexism, exhilarating highs and infuriating lows, stranger-than-fiction twists, Russian interference, and an opponent who broke all the rules," the publisher said.
