Illustrated with a section of both black-and-white and color photographic plates and black-and-white preliminary page map. "Today's headlines and history's judgment are rarely the same. If you are too attentive to the former, you will most certainly not do the hard work of securing the latter." - Condoleezza Rice, from the rear outer jacket. "From one of the world's most admired women, this is former National Security Advisor and Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice's compelling story at the highest levels of government. In her position as America's chief diplomat, Rice traveled almost continuously around the globe, seeking common ground among sometimes bitter enemies, forging agreement on divisive issues, and compiling a remarkable record of achievement. A native of Birmingham, Alabama, who overcame the racism of the civil rights era to become a brilliant academic and expert on foreign affairs, Rice distinguished herself as an advisor to George W. Bush during the 2000 presidential campaign. Once Bush was elected, she served as his chief advisor on national security issues - harmonizing the relationship between the secretaries of state and defense. It was a role that deepened her bond with the President and ultimately made her one of his closest confidantes. With the Spetember 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, Rice found herself at the center of the administrations's intense efforts to keep America safe. Here Rice describes the events of that harrowing day - and the tumultuous days after. Additionally, Rice reveals new details of the debates that led to the war in Afghanistan and then Iraq. The eyes of the nation were once again focused on Rice in 2004 when she appeared before the 9/11 Commission to answer tough questions about the country's preparedness for - and immediate response to - the 9/11 attacks. Her responses . would shape the nation's perception of the administration's competence during the crisis. Rice conveys just how pressure filled that appearance was and her gratitude and surprise when, in succeeding days, she was broadly saluted for her grace and forthrightness. From that point on, Rice was aggressively sought after by the media and regarded by some as the administration's most effective champion. In 2005 Rice was entrusted with even more responsibility when she was charged to carry out the President's foreign policy as secretary of state. As such, she proved herself a deft crafter of tactics and negotiation aimed to contain threats posed by America's enemies. Here she reveals the behind-the-scenes maneuvers that kept the world's relationships with Iran, North Korea, and Libya from collapsing into chaos. She also talks about her role as a crisis manager, showing that at any hour - and at a moment's notice - she was willing to bring all parties to the bargaining table anywhere in the world. No Higher Honor takes the reader into secret negotiating rooms where the fates of Israel, the Palestinian Authority, and Lebanon often hung in the balance, and it draws back the curtain on how frighteningly close all-out war loomed in clashes involving Pakistan and India, Russia and Georgia, and East Africa. Surprisingly candid in her appraisals of various colleagues and the hundreds of foreign leaders with whom she dealt, Rice also offers keen insights into how history actually proceeds. She delivers a master class in statecraft - in a way that reveals her essential warmth and humility and her deep reverence for the ideals on which America was founded." - from inner jacket flaps.
