Allen, Parnes Book Rap to discuss "Shattered: Inside Hillary Clinton’s Doomed Campaign" tonight at 6:30

During Hillary Clinton’s 2016 race for the White House, two journalists, Jonathan Allen and Amie Parnes, were given special access inside her campaign operation, conducting more than 100 interviews, for their new book Shattered: Inside Hillary Clinton’s Doomed Campaign.

They plan to appear together at the National Press Club tonight, Thursday, May 18, at 6:30 p.m. in the Club’s conference rooms to discuss their headline-making book that is already No. 1 on Amazon’s bestseller list. Tickets are $5 for Club members and $10 for the general public. Tickets and books are available here.

Books are also expected to be available at the event. The Book Rap is a fundraiser for the Club’s National Journalism Institute so no outside books are allowed.

The Book Rap includes a presentation by the authors, a Q&A session from the audience, and then a signing session.

The result of 2016 Presidential election was a surprise or shock to many people. The authors' inside access to the Clinton campaign provides information that can help explain why a supposed certain winner lost.

Jonathan Allen is the head of community and content for Sidewire and a columnist for Roll Call newspaper.

Amie Parnes is the senior White House correspondent for The Hill newspaper.

In 2014, Allen and Parnes co-authored the New York Times bestseller, HRC: State Secrets and the Rebirth of Hillary Clinton.
