I have made very little secret of the fact that I love Hillary Clinton and will be supporting her in 2016, when she inevitably runs for POTUS. That said, political memoirs and whatnot are normally not my thing. They often come across as very short-sighted, because they focus so tightly on a micro-world view that reflects only a small chunk of the writer's career. Plus, they are written and released on a campaign schedule as part of a media strategy, which inherently demeans their authority and merits.
I will be the first to admit that Clinton's most recent book Hard Choices is no exception-- it was released in a summer that will almost certainly mark her announcement of her intention to run and the beginning of her campaign, and this is absolutely reflected in the book itself, which seeks to answer the inevitable questions regarding her relationship with Barack Obama, the Benghazi incident, and her husband's role in her career. But all of that aside, she is certainly the most significant female politician in the country, and one of the most powerful women in the world, so her words should carry a lot of weight.
If the politicized nature of Hard Choices is too much for you to stomach, why not go old school and dust off a copy of It Takes a Village, Clinton's volume on American children and families. The proverb in the title has become so ubiquitous and been parodied quite a bit, but the book itself has lost very little of its meaning or impact. And I'd like to point out that no other active FLOTUS has written and published a real book.
Living History was Clinton's attempt at an autobiography, written shortly after her election to the US Senate in 2000. Unlike Hard Choices, Living History is much more focused on her life before she became a politician and provides very a satisfying anecdotal narrative of her formative years and experiences. It serves as a nice reminder of just how incredible, smart, and hard-working she is. Some critics were disappointed by her lack of candor, but I don't think a candid account of her life and career should be expected until her political life is officially over.
