商品簡介
「生命是一連串的抉擇，而我們的選擇和處理方式，將決定我們成為什麼樣的人。對於領導人和國家來說，這些抉擇可能決定了戰爭或和平、貧困或繁榮。」希拉蕊在《抉擇》中這樣破題。書中真誠、細緻地敘述她擔任國務卿4年期間中遭遇的困難、挑戰與內幕。2008年希拉蕊爭取民主黨提名參選總統失利後，原定繼續擔任聯邦參議員，卻意外受總統歐巴馬之邀出任國務卿。全書以希拉蕊4年外交生涯為重心，她上任後與歐巴馬積極修補與盟友的破裂關係，終結伊拉克與阿富汗戰事，處理全球金融危機。內容含括6大面向，25項關鍵議題，包括中國崛起、中國人權律師陳光誠事件、狙殺賓拉登、利比亞格達費政權垮台、班加西領事館恐怖攻擊事件、伊拉克及阿富汗情勢、中東民主浪潮、對伊朗和北韓的外交核武威脅的折衝手段……等。
面臨美國外交政策的兩難，讓人不禁好奇，到底希拉蕊在這些攸關世界命運的抉擇下，扮演什麼角色？當她面對派遣美國子弟兵上戰場的艱難決策，心裡到底想什麼？本書有抽絲剝繭的內幕披露。
書中也針對世界大趨勢，包括經濟、能源及氣候變遷、科技及創新，更對健康及人類發展等趨勢多所著墨。她以保障人權為職志，特別關注包含女性、宗教迫害、少數族裔群體、身心障礙者，同志（LGBT，泛稱及男同性戀、女同性戀、雙性戀與跨性別者）等「不被看見的」族群。
希拉蕊本身就是一部活歷史。這不只是希拉蕊的回憶錄故事，也為未來大勢做了洞燭機先的精彩分析。在美國不再是世界獨強，亟欲重建領導地位的現在，希拉蕊善用「巧實力」(smart power)，兼顧硬實力（意即軍事力量）與軟實力（外交、經濟、人道救援和文化管道等），靈活有效地統籌運用，即運用軍事、外交、經濟、政治、法律和文化等各種手段的組合來維護本國利益，使美國逐漸成為一個更「聰明」也「更安全」的國家，並鞏固其全球領導地位。
Hillary Rodham Clinton’s inside account of the crises, choices, and challenges she faced during her four years as America’s 67th Secretary of State, and how those experiences drive her view of the future.
“All of us face hard choices in our lives,” Hillary Rodham Clinton writes at the start of this personal chronicle of years at the center of world events. “Life is about making such choices. Our choices and how we handle them shape the people we become.”
In the aftermath of her 2008 presidential run, she expected to return to representing New York in the United States Senate. To her surprise, her former rival for the Democratic Party nomination, newly elected President Barack Obama, asked her to serve in his administration as Secretary of State. This memoir is the story of the four extraordinary and historic years that followed, and the hard choices that she and her colleagues confronted.
Secretary Clinton and President Obama had to decide how to repair fractured alliances, wind down two wars, and address a global financial crisis. They faced a rising competitor in China, growing threats from Iran and North Korea, and revolutions across the Middle East. Along the way, they grappled with some of the toughest dilemmas of US foreign policy, especially the decision to send Americans into harm’s way, from Afghanistan to Libya to the hunt for Osama bin Laden.
By the end of her tenure, Secretary Clinton had visited 112 countries, traveled nearly one million miles, and gained a truly global perspective on many of the major trends reshaping the landscape of the twenty-first century, from economic inequality to climate change to revolutions in energy, communications, and health. Drawing on conversations with numerous leaders and experts, Secretary Clinton offers her views on what it will take for the United States to compete and thrive in an interdependent world. She makes a passionate case for human rights and the full participation in society of women, youth, and LGBT people. An astute eyewitness to decades of social change, she distinguishes the trendlines from the headlines and describes the progress occurring throughout the world, day after day.
Secretary Clinton’s descriptions of diplomatic conversations at the highest levels offer readers a master class in international relations, as does her analysis of how we can best use “smart power” to deliver security and prosperity in a rapidly changing world—one in which America remains the indispensable nation.
