In this “admirably candid” account of the 2016 presidential election, Hillary Clinton reveals what it was like to be “mugged by a belligerent billionaire”, said Tony Allen-Mills in The Sunday Times. Having been supremely confident of victory, Clinton’s defeat to Donald Trump came as a “numbing” shock. For weeks afterwards, she did little other than drink Chardonnay, take “long walks in the woods” and practise “a yoga technique called alternate nostril breathing”. Yet Clinton has put her “dismay” to good use. What Happened is a “pleasingly vengeful and often darkly funny” analysis of how a sexist “crank” thwarted her dream of becoming America’s first female president. Aware that such a book could turn into a “recitation of the failings of others”, Clinton is admirably frank in her assessment of her own shortcomings: she wasn’t, she admits, a sufficiently “transformative” candidate, and she failed to offer “what a lot of the country wanted to hear”.
This is a “muddled, self-contradictory” book that “seesaws jerkily between sweet and sour, calm and fury”, said Craig Brown in The Mail on Sunday. While keen to make a show of contrition, Clinton “much prefers” blaming others. Her targets are many – Bernie Sanders, Julian Assange and “the media” all get lambasted – and even Barack Obama is criticised for not drawing more attention to Russian interference in the election. This is a “classic tale of hubris”, said Peter Conrad in The Observer. Clinton had arranged every detail of her march to the White House – from the stage, designed to look like a map of America, on which she would declare victory, to the purple suit she would wear on her first trip to Washington as president-elect. But in its “combination of number-crunching wonkery and strenuously pious uplift”, this “unreflective” memoir reveals “more than she might have intended about why she lost”.
There’s plenty of “special pleading and personal score-settling” in What Happened, said Edward Luce in the Financial Times. But it is also – rather unexpectedly – “a compelling read”. Clinton has “finally given vent to her feelings”: the guilt she feels at letting “an unqualified bully become president of the United States”; her fury at the media’s harsh scrutiny of women in the public eye. (She reveals that she spent 600 hours of the campaign – 25 days – having her hair and make-up done.) Had she revealed a bit more of the “spark and biting sarcasm” that she shows here, her “lacklustre” campaign would have been very different.

“In 1933, the rural population of Ukraine began to die,” said Daniel Finkelstein in The Times. “They fell down dead while sitting at school desks”, or while “scavenging in the fields”. The causes of the Holodomor (literally, “hunger-death”) are no mystery. When Ukraine’s farms, collectivised in the late 1920s, failed to meet their targets, Stalin instituted a policy of grain requisition. Peasants, he claimed, were hoarding food needed elsewhere in the Soviet Union; so party officials visited their homes and “confiscated any grain, bread or other food that they found”. Meanwhile, Ukraine’s borders were shut, ensuring the hungry couldn’t leave. Between 1932 and 1934, more than four million Ukrainians died from starvation. Those who survived ate their horses, cats and dogs, and even “the dead bodies of their family members”. Anne Applebaum’s “relentless, shocking” history of the tragedy will “cement her deserved reputation as the leading historian of Soviet crimes”.
Historians disagree as to whether the famine was an “intended consequence” of Soviet policy, but Applebaum is in “no doubt”, said Nick Rennison in The Sunday Times. Stalin harboured “a paranoid distrust of Ukraine”, and his suppression of Ukrainian nationalism “marched in parallel” with the policies that led to the famine. While peasants were dying, Ukraine’s intellectuals were being rounded up, said Owen Matthews in The Spectator. The aim was to “squash all hopes of an independent Ukrainian state”. Today, the Holodomor remains an “ideological touchstone”: most Ukrainians regard it as a genocide, whereas Putin’s “tame historians” still – “disgustingly” – maintain that it was merely a natural disaster. In her important and “meticulous” study, Applebaum has “drawn back the veil” on “one of the 20th century’s most egregious crimes”.
