State of Terror

by Hillary Rodham Clinton

Those who underestimated teachers did so at their peril.

He was experienced enough to know that the weak blustered, denied, lied, and struck out wildly. The powerful admitted a mistake, thereby robbing it of its hold on them.

She knew that men like Ivanov and Dunn would always undervalue and underestimate women. Especially one who was disheveled. It was a very small advantage for her.

State of Terror is about terror but, at its core, at its heart, it is about courage and love.

Finally, this is a work of fiction but the story it tells is all too timely. It’s up to us to make sure its plot stays fictional.
