A searing portrait of presidential candidate Hillary Clinton.

Hillary Clinton is running for the presidency with a message of hope and change. But, as Doug Henwood makes clear in this concise, devastating indictment, little trust can be placed in her campaign promises. Rigorously reviewing her record, My Turn shows how Clinton's positions on key issues have always blown with the breeze of expediency, though generally around an axis of moralism and hawkishness. Without a meaningful program other than a broad fealty to the status quo, Henwood suggests, "the case for Hillary boils down to this: she has experience, she's a woman, and it's her turn."

Praise for My Turn

"My Turn is compulsively good reading--not only for its glimpse into Hillary Clinton's mind but for its insights into the entire Clinton political-philanthropic machine. Doug Henwood is both smart and--almost uniquely for this campaign season--sane." --Barbara Ehrenreich

"A solid and persuasive guide to what has been characterized as shady or shabby or unprincipled in Clinton's political career." --Zoë Heller in The New York Review of Books
