The Secretary: A Journey with Hillary Clinton from Beirut to the Heart of American Power In November 2008, Hillary Clinton agreed to work for her former rival. As President Barack Obama's secretary of state, she set out to repair America's image around the world—and her own. During the four years that followed, BBC foreign correspondent Kim Ghattas had unparalleled access to Clinton and her entourage. In The Secretary: A Journey with Hillary Clinton from Beirut to the Heart of American Power, the journalist weaves a fast-paced, gripping account of life on the road with Clinton. Written from the Ghattas's perspective as a half-Dutch, half-Lebanese citizen who grew up in the crossfire of the Lebanese civil war, The Secretary also traces the author's own journey as she seeks to answer the questions that haunted her childhood: How powerful is America really? And, if the country's dominance is in decline, who or what will replace it, and what will it mean for America and the world?
