Her Way: The Hopes and Ambitions of Hillary Rodham Clinton is an investigative biography about United States Senator, and former First Lady of the United States, Hillary Rodham Clinton that was written by Jeff Gerth and Don Van Natta Jr. and published on June 8, 2007, by Little, Brown and Company.
[1] The book came out at the same time as another mainstream biography, Carl Bernstein's A Woman in Charge: The Life of Hillary Rodham Clinton.
[3] As The Washington Post wrote, "Unlike many harsh books about Clinton written by ideological enemies, the two new volumes come from long-established writers backed by major publishing houses and could be harder to dismiss.
"[1] Several reviewers noted that Her Way had a detailed, lengthy account of Clinton's Senate career, an area where the Bernstein book was clearly lacking.
[7] Kolbert illustrated with a case in point: "Take the hitherto untold story of Lee Telega, a Cornell University extension employee who worked in Clinton’s Washington office for six months, guiding the new senator on agricultural policy.
Gerth and Van Natta go to great lengths to prove that Clinton's office never filed the required paperwork for Telega.
[8] A CBS News end-of-year survey of publishing hits and misses included Her Way in the latter category and implied that its total sales were maybe around 20,000 copies.
