Let me start by saying that I am not a big fan of Hillary Clinton BUT I did like this book. I liked the way it read and I liked the way it flowed. Instead of telling her story chronologically, she told it regionally. This made it a lot easier to follow. I never realized all the traveling, meetings and speeches that the Secretary of State must give during their tenure. I'm not sure if she made as much if a difference in the political/international world as she claims but one thing is sure...she sure ate a lot. No matter what she was doing, food was somehow involved in the incident. Also she seemed really self-absorbed a few times about being barefoot or stepping out of her shoe. I think that is something she could have left out and it never would have been missed. Or the picture that forms in your head whenever you picture her "motorcade racing through the streets". It sometimes sounded like something from one of those spy thriller movies. It was interesting to read her point of view on Benghazi and the subsequent senate hearing without hearing all the negative rhetoric that usually follows it. I did remember a lot in the news around that time concerning that "video" that they said caused it, especially with protests in other countries concerning it. But I think there was more behind Benghazi than what she claimed. But just like any other political conspiracy (JFK, Nixon Tapes, Chappaquiddick), we might find the truth one day or we might find the truth was always what they said. This is a good book to look at the history of what was going on in the world during President Obama's first term.
