In the aftermath of her 2008 presidential run, Hillary Rodham Clinton 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. Her memoir is the story of the four extraordinary and historic years that followed, and the hard choices that she and her colleagues confronted.
