Hillary Clinton’s released emails have shaken the political world. And one in particular has had a big impact – on the New Statesman office, at least. It turns out the next Leader of the Free World (maybe) learns about world news by reading the New Statesman.

While she was still serving as Secretary of State, in August 2010, her long-time adviser Sidney Blumenthal emailed her our article, “The military and the mullahs”, written by William Dalrymple.

The New Statesman, “worth reading” since 25 August 2010.
