Kim Ghattas Boeken

An inside story of Hillary Clinton's time as Secretary of State, anchored by Ghattas' own perspective and her quest to understand America's place in the world, this book is a pioneering exploration of Clinton's tenure. Drawing on extensive interviews with administration officials, including Clinton herself, and other key figures, it offers a detailed look at one of the world's most powerful women through the lens of a journalist with both insider knowledge and a global viewpoint. The narrative spans from the early days of the Obama administration to significant events like Wikileaks, the Arab Spring, and the standoff with Iran. Ghattas captures Clinton under the intense scrutiny of her role as the world’s chief diplomat, revealing personal moments such as her late-night departures and diplomatic missteps. As a half-Dutch, half-Lebanese citizen who experienced the Lebanon civil war, Ghattas provides a unique perspective on the complexities of foreign relations. The book delves into pivotal questions about America's status as a global superpower and the implications of its evolving role in a changing world.
