I'm not entirely sure who the book was written for. You can tell the authors have no love for the Republican Party or the current president. But at the same time, they're up-front about the fact that Hillary was her own worst enemy and her inability to convey why she was running was a huge handicap.
I do think the authors are both Hillary fans who are upset over her defeat, but, like the campaign itself, they can't really come up with a reason for her to have run aside from "it's her time." But there is a fair amount of interesting information in there, despite their pretty evident bias.
One thing the book doesn't touch on at all is the death of Justice Scalia and the role that played in the race. I remain convinced that if McConnell had folded on Garland, Trump would not have won. A great many traditional Republican voters would have stayed home, rather than reluctantly pull the lever for Trump on the off chance he could win.
Something I hadn't considered that the book touched on was the role Black Lives Matter played in Hillary's defeat. It was in part her pandering to that group that alienated working-class whites.
