I have learned so much about diplomacy from this book. It is almost sad to be near the end. My favorite part since checking in 8/20/14, Hillary and Obama crashed a secret meeting between China, India and South Africa at a Global Warming Conference...

Egypt - Libya - I am learning a great deal from this book. It's a master class in diplomacy.

Chap 12 - Latin America. I loved it. I do not agree 100% with her view (she calls our intervention in Chile as one of our darkest chapters without mentioning there is a chapter for almost every country). Her view on a true partnership and applying blame equally for mutual problems is refreshing. For example, drugs (smuggled into the US), weapons (smuggled out of the US)I love her love for Colombia and Mexico.

I love this book! However, I can see how a person that does not follow international diplomacy might find it difficult to follow at times.

Political Junkie Heaven = Hard Choices

Left to the domain of China throughout the Bush administration, Hillary decides to take her first steps as Secretary of State in Asia.
