Susan E. Rice, National Security Advisor to President Barack Obama
and US Ambassador to the United Nations, reveals her powerful story
with unflinching candor in this New York Times bestseller. Mother,
wife, scholar, diplomat, and fierce champion of American interests
and values, Susan Rice powerfully connects the personal and the
professional. Taught early, with tough love, how to compete and
excel as an African American woman in settings where people of
color are few, Susan now shares the wisdom she learned along the
way in this "personal and honest...ode to public service" (NPR).
Laying bare the family struggles that shaped her early life she
also examines the ancestral legacies that influenced her. Rice's
elders-immigrants on one side and descendants of slaves on the
other-encouraged each generation to rise. And rise they did, in
uniform and in the pulpit, as educators, community leaders, and
public servants. Susan too rose rapidly. She served throughout the
Clinton administration, becoming one of the nation's youngest
assistant secretaries of state and, later, one of President Obama's
most trusted advisors. Rice provides an insider's account of some
of the most complex issues confronting the United States over three
decades, from "Black Hawk Down" in Somalia to the genocide in
Rwanda, and from conflicts in Libya and Syria to the Ebola
epidemic, a secret channel to Iran, and the opening to Cuba during
the Obama years. With unmatched insight and characteristic
bluntness, she reveals previously untold stories behind recent
national security challenges, including confrontations with Russia
and China, the war against ISIS, the fallout from Edward Snowden's
NSA leaks, the US response to Russian interference in the 2016
election, and the surreal transition to the Trump administration.
Although you might think you know Susan Rice-whose name became
synonymous with Benghazi following her Sunday news show appearances
after the deadly 2012 terrorist attacks in Libya-now, through these
pages, you truly will know her for the first time. "An astute,
analytical take on recent American political history," (Publishers
Weekly, starred review) Tough Love makes an urgent appeal to the
American public to bridge our dangerous domestic divides in order
to preserve our democracy and sustain our global leadership.
