The biography of Hillary Rodham Clinton offers an inside look at the crises, choices, and challenges she faced during her four-year term as the 67th United States Secretary of State. In this personal narrative, Clinton explores the difficult decisions that shaped her career and life path. After her presidential campaign in 2008, Clinton was invited by the newly elected President Barack Obama to serve in his administration as Secretary of State.
The autobiography recounts the extraordinary and historic four years that followed, during which Clinton and her team had to find ways to restore troubled international cooperation, end two wars, and address a global economic crisis. They faced increasing competition from China, threats from Iran and North Korea, as well as uprisings in the Middle East.
By the end of her tenure, Clinton had visited 112 countries and traveled nearly a million miles, gaining a truly global perspective on many of the major trends reshaping the 21st-century landscape, from economic inequality to climate change. Clinton advocates for human dignity and the involvement of society by teenagers, young people, and LGBTQ individuals, identifying developments and advancements occurring worldwide.
Clinton's descriptions of high-level diplomatic talks offer lessons in international relations, while her analysis of the effective use of "smart power" highlights how America can maintain its essential position in the world.
