Rice Publishes Policy Memoir

Former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice provides a behind- the-scenes view of international policy making in her latest book, No Higher Honor: A Memoir of My Years in Washington.Rice is the Denning Professor in Global Business and the Economy at the GSB and a faculty director of the school's Center for Global Business and the Economy. In 2010, she authored a best-selling, more personal memoir, Extraordinary, Ordinary People: A Memoir of Family.

In the new book, Rice covers her eight years serving first as national security advisor and then as secretary of state in the George W. Bush administration. As America's chief diplomat, she traveled almost continuously around the globe, seeking common ground among sometimes bitter enemies. She discusses secret negotiations and offers appraisals of various colleagues and hundreds of foreign leaders. In a review of the book, the New York Times said it "provides a vivid account of the tumultuous years after Sept. 11, 2001," and is the "most expansive record of those eight years by any of the leading participants."
