NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER - From the former national security advisor and secretary of state comes a "sharp and penetrating . . . reminder that foreign-policy choices facing the United States are complex and difficult, with no easy solutions" (The Washington Post).

A native of Birmingham, Alabama, who overcame the racism of the civil rights era to become a brilliant academic and expert on foreign affairs, Condoleezza Rice first distinguished herself as an advisor to George W. Bush during the 2000 presidential campaign, and eventually became one of his closest confidantes. Once he was elected, she served first as his chief advisor on national security issues and later as America's chief diplomat. From the aftermath of September 11, 2001, when she stood at the center of the administration's efforts to protect the nation, to her efforts as secretary of state to manage the world's volatile relationships with North Korea, Iran, and Libya, her service to America led her to confront some of the worst crises the country has ever faced.

This is her unflinchingly honest story of that remarkable time, from what really went on behind closed doors when the fates of Israel, the Palestinian Authority, and Lebanon often hung in the balance and how frighteningly close all-out war loomed in clashes involving Pakistan-India and Russia-Georgia, to her candid appraisal of her colleagues and contemporaries. In No Higher Honor, Condoleezza Rice delivers a master class in statecraft--but always in a way that reveals her essential warmth and humility and her deep reverence for the ideals on which America was founded.
