  • Description

    A powerful person is the result of the choices they make, and the risks that they take for the causes they believe in. Sometimes, these choices are made against insurmountable odds, and immovable obstacles. Sometimes, people bend knee to these obstacles. At other times, they rise, and make those hard choices which lead them on to. This is the memoir of Hillary Rodham Clinton, dedicated wife, loving mother, a political figurehead who strives for truth, justice and the American way.

    Summary of the Book

    One who walks with grit and determination towards obstacles, time and again, is no ordinary person. The act of returning to face the people, to risk all to try and help them once again, is one of bravery and a fortitude that is heartening and inspirational. In 2008, Hillary Rodham Clinton went head to head with the Obama government during the Presidential elections. After the results, it was assumed she would return to New York as the Senator. Instead, she was chosen as Barack Obama’s Secretary of State. In the four years that followed, Hillary Clinton worked together with Obama to repair the damages the previous government had caused. It was a weak America they had to fight for, with China on one side with its armament of production companies stealing both jobs and products and on the other hand, they had the likes of Iran and North Korea, and the ever imminent threat of another terror threat from the Middle East to reckon with. The last decade wreaked havoc on the American nation, and former Secretary Clinton’s journey in the last few years gave her perspective on the world, a perspective which opened her eyes to the issues the next government will have to face. It is again time, she realizes, when she will stand to make a case for issues such as the United States’ chances to thrive in a largely competitive world, human rights, and acceptance of LGBT people. Her words ring true to all readers, as those of a visionary who wishes nothing more than the greater good. This definitive memoir brings descriptions of her discussions with foreign diplomats from across the world to readers, and showcases how her journey, spanning 112 countries, paved the way to a better world, where America once again rises from the blows dealt to her in the past decade and resumes her throne.

    Critical Acclaim

    "Hard Choices is a statesmanlike document intended to attest to Mrs. Clinton’s wide-ranging experience on national security and on foreign policy." - Michiko Kakutani, The New York Times.

    “[A] clear and at times riveting account of Hillary Rodham Clinton’s four years as secretary of state . . . The book bolsters her reputation as a strong ‘representational’ diplomat who carried the flag to 112 countries." - David Ignatius, The Washington Post.

    “Hard Choices is a richly detailed and compelling chronicle of Clinton's role in the foreign initiatives and crises that defined the first term of the Obama administration" - The Los Angeles Times.

    A good read

    This book talks about Hillary Clinton's days as Secretary of State and her travel around the world (112 countries, 87 days in air). She talks about her experiences and views about global leaders dealing with Middle East Peace process, Af-Pak region (Osama raid), Iran, Europe, ASEAN, China etc. There isn't much mention of India in her book except for few sentences here and there. This is understandable because India doesn't figure in global politics as a decisive and important player.

    A lesson in geopolitics

    Hard Choices is a comprehensive work about Hillary Rodham Clinton’s experiences as Secretary of State between the years 2009 and 2013. It is very detailed (as detailed as it can allowed to be without becoming utterly boring) and encompasses all major geopolitical issues that came forth during her tenure. From the perspective of a reader with a little knowledge of the happenings around the globe it comes as a nice lesson on most things that transpired during those 4 years. It endeavours to pro...

    Smooth and Simple

    I haven't finished the book yet but never regretted opening it again and again. The book expresses Hillary's journey being a secretary of state. People who expect deep secrete to be revealed through this need to take a back seat. Her emotions are more visible when you go through each.

    In short the book is simple sharing true experience of life at toughest time.
