From one of the world's most admired women, this is former National
Security Advisor and 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 and
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 and Defence. It was a role that
deepened her bond with the President and ultimately made her one of
his closest confidantes. With the 11 September 2001 terrorist
attacks, Rice found herself at the centre of the Administration's
efforts to keep America safe. Here, Rice describes the events of
that harrowing day - and the tumultuous days after. Surprisingly
candid in her appraisals of various Administration colleagues and
the hundreds of foreign leaders with whom she dealt, Rice also
offers her keen insight into how history actually proceeds. In No
Higher Honour, she delivers a master class in statecraft - but
always in a way that reveals her essential warmth and humility, and
her deep reverence for the ideals on which America was founded.
