Alter Egos

An outstanding book on U.S. foreign policy over the past seven years, a work that is granular when it must be and overarching when it can, revealing how foreign relations are conducted and deliberated, and packed with fly-on-the-wall anecdotes . . . for a single work encompassing the Obama administration's engagement with the world, it is hard to imagine one better. * Washington Post *
Well-researched and engaging ... fascinating -- Gideon Rachman * The Financial Times *
A superb journalist has brought us a vivid, page-turning, and revelatory account of the relationship between Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton, as well as of their statecraft. Alter Egos will make a signal contribution to the national debate over who should be the next American president. * Michael Beschloss, bestselling author of Presidential Courage *
Mark Landler, one of the best reporters working in Washington today, delivers an inside account of Hillary Clinton's relationship with Barack Obama that brims with insight and high-level intrigue. It's both fun to read and eye-opening. * Jane Mayer, bestselling author of Dark Money: The Hidden History of the Billionaires Behind the Rise of the Radical Right *
An incredibly important book, timely and deeply revelatory. Landler's brilliant reporting reveals a Barack Obama ever skeptical of establishment wisdom, and a Hillary Clinton driven by 'inner hawk' instincts. This is an extraordinary tale of two formidable personalities locked in an alliance who have competing visions of America's foreign policy. * Kai Bird, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of The Good Spy: The Life and Death of Robert Ames *
