In "Hacks," Donna Brazile, a seasoned political strategist and former Democratic National Committee (DNC) chair, delivers a riveting insider narrative that unravels the complexities and turmoil of the 2016 presidential election. With the sharpness of a seasoned journalist and the insight of a political insider, Brazile exposes the multifaceted layers of betrayal and ambition that characterized one of the most contentious elections in American history. From the unprecedented Russian cyber-attacks on the DNC to the internal discord that plagued the Democratic party and the strategic blunders of the Clinton campaign, Brazile navigates the reader through a labyrinth of political intrigue and deception. Her account serves not only as a thrilling exposé but also as a cautionary tale for the future of American democracy. Beyond merely chronicling events, "Hacks" is a candid exploration of the personal and political consequences of the 2016 election. Brazile offers a unique perspective on the collision of race, gender, and power in politics, while also addressing her own role in these historic moments. With unflinching honesty, she examines the failures and oversights that led to one of the most surprising electoral outcomes in recent memory. Through her narrative, Brazile advocates for transparency and reform, urging a reexamination of the values and strategies that define the Democratic Party. "Hacks" is not just a story of political defeat; it is a rallying cry for those who seek to understand and improve the mechanisms of American democracy.

Visceral, raw, you-are-there recounting of living through the hack attacks and resulting meltdown of the DNC in 2016. - Marc Andreessen
Pitting these two angry bears against the DNC was not a fair fight, Shawn Henry of CrowdStrike said in the Post article: “This is a sophisticated foreign intelligence service with a lot of time, a lot of resources, and is interested in targeting the U.S. political system. You’ve got ordinary citizens who are doing hand-to-hand combat with trained military officers, and that’s an untenable situation.
— Donna Brazile, Hacks
