Author: Kim Ghattas Format: Paperback Number of Pages: 368 Written with the full cooperation of Hillary Clinton and her staff, The Secretary is the first book of its kind: a detailed look at an intensely private woman - arguably the most powerful woman in the world - from an author with both an insider and a global perspective. The Secretary tells the story of Hillary Clinton's tenure as Secretary of State: from the first days of the Obama administration, to the drama of Wikileaks, to the "Arab Spring" uprisings, the killing of Osama bin Laden, and the standoff with Iran. Though Ghattas eyes, we see Clinton under the intense professional spotlight commanded by the world's chief diplomat, but also in the softer lighting of the more personal nuances of foreign relations - cheerfully boarding her plane at 5 AM after no sleep, committing an embarrassing blunder while going off-script at an Israeli press conference, handily working out some limo ride diplomacy between the Turks and the Armenians. Viewed through Ghattas vantage point as a half-Dutch, half-Lebanese citizen who grew up in the crossfire of the Lebanon civil war - and her personal quest to understand America's place in a rapidly changing global landscape - the book offers a close-up of diplomacy at the highest level while seeking to answer pivotal questions about the United States. Is America still the global superpower? If not, who or what will replace it, and what will it mean for America and the world. Paperback. …

First edition of the compelling account of Hillary Clinton's tenure as U.S. Secretary of State. Octavo, original publisher's cloth, illustrated with black and white photographs.

I wish there had been time to speak to you in person but perhaps our paths will cross one day. I hope you enjoy this book about one of your successes and my outsider's take on American power. Sincerely, Kim Ghattas." The recipient, Madeleine K. Albright was the first woman to serve as the U.S. Secretary of State. She acted under President Bill Clinton from 1997 to 2001, leading the United States through foreign policy in the Middle East with the endorsement of military action in Iraq. At the 1998 NATO summit, Albright coined the â3 Dsâ of NATO, âwhich is no diminution of NATO, no discrimination and no duplication â" because I think that we donât need any of those three âDsâ to happen.â After her tenure as Secretary of State, she served as chair of the consulting Albright Stonebridge Group and was the Michael and Virginia Mortara Endowed Distinguished Professor in the Practice of Diplomacy at Georgetown Universityâs School of Foreign Service.
