From the number one bestselling authors Hillary Clinton and Louise Penny comes a novel of unsurpassed thrills and incomparable insider expertise - State of Terror.
Who would have thought in October 2016, Hillary Clinton would snatch defeat from the jaws of victory? Certainly not Clinton!
Fra bestsellerforfatterne Hillary Clinton og Louise Penny kommer en roman med uovertruffen spænding og uovertruffen insider-ekspertise. Den canadiske krimiforfatter Louise Penny spurgte Hillary Clinton: Hvordan vil du beskrive dit værste mareridt i din tid som udenrigsminister? Svaret var en terrorstat. Et land ude af kontrol, som befinder sig i en tilstand af kaos, frygt og håbløshed. Det blev startskuddet på et samarbejde mellem en af verdens bedste krimiforfattere og en af USA’s mest markante ledere. I Tilstand af terror møder vi en idealistisk, men grøn, udenrigsminister, som har tilsluttet sig sin rivals administration; en præsident, der er indsat efter fire år med et amerikansk lederskab, hvor USA har været usynlig på den internationale scene. En række terrorangreb ryster den globale orden, og udenrigsministeren må samle et hold i forsøget på at afsløre en dødbringende konspiration. En sammensværgelse, der er omhyggeligt designet til at udnytte, at den amerikanske regering har mistet føling og er uden magt dér, hvor magten betyder mest.Tilstand af terror er en hæsblæsende thriller om internationale intriger, i en verden af diplomati og forræderi, og giver et sjældent indblik i det globale drama, der udspiller sig bag kulisserne og som kun en politisk insider vil kunne kende til.
Hillary Clinton's candid reflections about the key moments during her time as Secretary of State, as well as her thoughts about how to navigate the challenges of the 21st century.
The Sunday Times Number One Bestseller! For the first time, Hillary Rodham Clinton reveals what she was thinking and feeling during one of the most controversial and unpredictable presidential elections in history. Now free from the constraints of running, Hillary takes you inside the intense personal experience of becoming the first woman nominated for president by a major party in an election marked by rage, sexism, exhilarating highs and infuriating lows, stranger-than-fiction twists, Russian interference and an opponent who broke all the rules. This is her most personal memoir yet. In these pages, she describes what it was like to run against Donald Trump, the mistakes she made, how she has coped with a shocking and devastating loss, and how she found the strength to pick herself back up afterwards. With humour and candour, she tells readers what it took to get back on her feet - the rituals, relationships and reading that got her through, and what the experience has taught her about life. She speaks about the challenges of being a strong woman in the public eye, the criticism over her voice, age and appearance, and the double standard confronting women in politics. She lays out how the 2016 election was marked by an unprecedented assault on democracy by a foreign adversary. By analysing the evidence and connecting the dots, Hillary shows just how dangerous the forces are that shaped the outcome, and why Americans need to understand them to protect their values and democracy in the future. The election of 2016 was unprecedented and historic. What Happened is the story of that campaign and its aftermath - both a deeply intimate account and a cautionary tale.
AN INSTANT #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER Named one of the most anticipated novels of the season by People, Associated Press, Time, Los Angeles Times, Parade, St. Louis Post-Dispatch, The Guardian, Publishers Weekly, and more. From the #1 bestselling authors Hillary Clinton and Louise Penny comes a novel of unsurpassed thrills and incomparable insider expertise—State of Terror.After a tumultuous period in American politics, a new administration has just been sworn in, and to everyone’s surprise the president chooses a political enemy for the vital position of secretary of state. There is no love lost between the president of the United States and Ellen Adams, his new secretary of state. But it’s a canny move on the part of the president. With this appointment, he silences one of his harshest critics, since taking the job means Adams must step down as head of her multinational media conglomerate. As the new president addresses Congress for the first time, with Secretary Adams in attendance, Anahita Dahir, a young foreign service officer (FSO) on the Pakistan desk at the State Department, receives a baffling text from an anonymous source. Too late, she realizes the message was a hastily coded warning. What begins as a series of apparent terrorist attacks is revealed to be the beginning of an international chess game involving the volatile and Byzantine politics of Pakistan, Afghanistan, and Iran; the race to develop nuclear weapons in the region; the Russian mob; a burgeoning rogue terrorist organization; and an American government set back on its heels in the international arena. As the horrifying scale of the threat becomes clear, Secretary Adams and her team realize it has been carefully planned to take advantage of four years of an American government out of touch with international affairs, out of practice with diplomacy, and out of power in the places where it counts the most. To defeat such an intricate, carefully constructed conspiracy, it will take the skills of a unique team: a passionate young FSO; a dedicated journalist; and a smart, determined, but as yet untested new secretary of state. State of Terror is a unique and utterly compelling international thriller cowritten by Hillary Rodham Clinton, the 67th secretary of state, and Louise Penny, a multiple award-winning #1 New York Times bestselling novelist.
I denne meget personlige bog beskriver Hillary Rodham Clinton, hvordan det var at kæmpe mod Donald Trump, hvilke fejltagelser hun begik, hvordan hun har håndteret det chokerende nederlag, og hvad oplevelserne har lært hende. Med humor og ærlighed fortæller hun, hvad det krævede at komme på benene igen – af ritualer, af relationer og af råben af tv’et. Hun skriver også om udfordringerne ved at være en stærk kvinde i offentlighedens søgelys, om kritikken af hendes stemme, hendes alder, hendes krop, og om hvordan alle kvinder i politik mødes af dobbeltmoral, når de udtrykker vrede eller viser ambitioner. Hun viser os, hvor hendes styrke kommer fra, hvordan man finder sine sande værdier, og hvordan man kommer videre på trods af modgang. På den måde er bogen ikke bare en guide til at klare sig i politik, men i livet generelt. Pressen skriver: »Fuld af egne, blodsprængte følelser - fra forbitrelse og vrede over skyldfølelse og til oprigtig forundring.« – Politiken »En obduktionsrapport over et af de mest smertelige og overraskende nederlag i amerikansk historie.« **** – Berlingske »Politisk underholdning i topklasse.« **** – Ekstra Bladet »En fremragende læseoplevelse.« – bogblogger.dk

Hillary Rodham Clinton is known to hundreds of millions of people around the world. Yet few beyond her close friends and family have ever heard her account of her extraordinary journey. She writes with candor, humor and passion about her upbringing in suburban, middle-class America in the 1950s and her transformation from Goldwater Girl to student activist to controversial First Lady. Living History is her revealing memoir of life through the White House years. It is also her chronicle of living history with Bill Clinton, a thirty-year adventure in love and politics that survives personal betrayal, relentless partisan investigations and constant public scrutiny. Hillary Rodham Clinton came of age during a time of tumultuous social and political change in America. Like many women of her generation, she grew up with choices and opportunities unknown to her mother or grandmother. She charted her own course through unexplored terrain -- responding to the changing times and her own internal compass -- and became an emblem for some and a lightning rod for others. Wife, mother, lawyer, advocate and international icon, she has lived through America''s great political wars, from Watergate to Whitewater. The only First Lady to play a major role in shaping domestic legislation, Hillary Rodham Clinton traveled tirelessly around the country to champion health care, expand economic and educational opportunity and promote the needs of children and families, and she crisscrossed the globe on behalf of women''s rights, human rights and democracy. She redefined the position of First Lady and helped save the presidency from an unconstitutional, politically motivated impeachment. Intimate, powerful and inspiring, Living History captures the essence of one of the most remarkable women of our time and the challenging process by which she came to define herself and find her own voice -- as a woman and as a formidable figure in American politics.
