  • "La historia Intima de las crisis, decisiones y retos que enfrentO Hillary Rodham Clinton durante sus cuatro aNos como sexagEsima sEptima Secretaria de Estado de AmErica, y de cOmo esas experiencias motivan su visiOn del futuro. "Todos afrontamos decisiones difIciles en la vida," escribe Hillary Rodham Clinton en las primeras pAginas de esta crOnica personal de sus aNos en el epicentro de los eventos mundiales. "La vida consiste en tomar ese tipo de decisiones. Nuestras decisiones y la forma en que las manejamos moldean la persona en la cual nos convertimos." En el perIodo que siguiO a su campaNa electoral de 2008, ella esperaba volver a representar el estado de Nueva York en el Senado de los Estados Unidos. Para sorpresa suya, su antiguo rival por la nominaciOn del Partido DemOcrata, el reciEn elegido Presidente Barack Obama, le solicitO trabajar en su administraciOn como Secretaria de Estado. Estas memorias constituyen el recuento de los cuatro extraordinarios e histOricos aNos que siguieron y las decisiones difIciles a las que se enfrentaron ella y sus colegas. La Secretaria Clinton y el Presidente Obama tuvieron que decidir cOmo restaurar alianzas resquebrajadas, reducir paulatinamente dos guerras y lidiar con una crisis financiera a nivel mundial. Hicieron frente al creciente competidor que es China, a las crecientes amenazas de IrAn y Corea del Norte y tambiEn a revoluciones en el Medio Oriente. Por el camino, lidiaron con algunos de los mAs difIciles dilemas de la polItica exterior de los Estados Unidos, en particular con la decisiOn de enviar estadounidenses a situaciones de peligro, desde AfganistAn hasta Libia y a la caza de Osama bin Laden. Al finalizar su ejercicio en el cargo, la Secretaria Clinton habIa visitado 112 paIses, viajado casi un millOn de millas y obtenido una verdadera perspectiva global de muchas de las principales tendencias que estaban remodelando el panorama del siglo veintiuno, las cuales abarcaban desde la desigualdad econOmica hasta el cambio climAtico y a la revoluciOn en energIa, comunicaciones y salud.

  • "Hillary Rodham Clinton's inside account of the crises, choices, and challenges she faced during her four years as America's 67th Secretary of State, and how those experiences drive her view of the future. "All of us face hard choices in our lives," Hillary Rodham Clinton writes at the start of this personal chronicle of years at the center of world events. "Life is about making such choices. Our choices and how we handle them shape the people we become." In the aftermath of her 2008 presidential run, she expected to return to representing New York in the United States Senate. To her surprise, her former rival for the Democratic Party nomination, newly elected President Barack Obama, asked her to serve in his administration as Secretary of State. This memoir is the story of the four extraordinary and historic years that followed, and the hard choices that she and her colleagues confronted. Secretary Clinton and President Obama had to decide how to repair fractured alliances, wind down two wars, and address a global financial crisis. They faced a rising competitor in China, growing threats from Iran and North Korea, and revolutions across the Middle East. Along the way, they grappled with some of the toughest dilemmas of US foreign policy, especially the decision to send Americans into harm's way, from Afghanistan to Libya to the hunt for Osama bin Laden. By the end of her tenure, Secretary Clinton had visited 112 countries, traveled nearly one million miles, and gained a truly global perspective on many of the major trends reshaping the landscape of the twenty-first century, from economic inequality to climate change to revolutions in energy, communications, and health. Drawing on conversations with numerous leaders and experts, Secretary Clinton offers her views on what it will take for the United States to compete and thrive in an interdependent world. She makes a passionate case for human rights and the full participation in society of women, youth, and LGBT people. An astute eyewitness to decades of social change, she distinguishes the trendlines from the headlines and describes the progress occurring throughout the world, day after day. Secretary Clinton's descriptions of diplomatic conversations at the highest levels offer listeners a master class in international relations, as does her analysis of how we can best use "smart power" to deliver security and prosperity in a rapidly changing world-one in which America remains the indispensable nation. -- Publisher description"@en
