I suspect I am the only person here who has even read part of it.

"Even the Young Turks"? Here's a news flash for those who haven't been keeping up: The Young Turks opposed Clinton in the Democratic primaries in both 2008 and 2016 and have ALWAYS been critical of her. They still endorsed her after she won the Democratic nomination, but my point is: Why should one be shocked that they maintain the same critiques they've always had of her now?
I'm not uncritical of her either (I did vote for Bernie Sanders in the primaries and my own political views are, in actuality, well to the left of his), but I am also very much a pragmatist and one who tends to view candidates for public office as human (with the possible exception of our current president), and yes I do indeed think that there were a mountain of factors besides Hillary Clinton's in reality minor shortcomings (like failing to visit this or that state, speaking with unnecessary caution, changing a couple of stances between 1994 and 2016 like no one else has ever done, etc.) and that Clinton's assessment of what those were in her new book isn't way off base.
