From one of the world's most admired women, this is former National Security Advisor & Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice's compelling story of eight years serving at the highest levels of government. A native of Birmingham, Alabama who overcame the racism of the Civil Rights era to become a brilliant academic & expert on foreign affairs, Rice distinguished herself as an advisor to George W. Bush during the 2000 presidential campaign. Once Bush was elected, she served as his chief adviser on national-security issues
- a job whose duties included harmonizing the relationship between the Secretaries of State & Defense. It was a role that deepened her bond with the President & ultimately made her one of his closest confidantes. With the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, Rice found herself at the center of the Administration's intense efforts to keep America safe. Here, Rice describes the events of that harrowing day
- & the tumultuous days after. No day was ever the same. Surprisingly candid in her appraisals of various Administration colleagues & the hundreds of foreign leaders with whom she dealt, Rice also offers here keen insight into how history actually proceeds. In No Higher Honor, she delivers a master class in statecraft -- but always in a way that reveals her essential warmth & humility, & her deep reverence for the ideals on which America was founded.
