Clinton memoir no Washington soap opera
Print Edition
HILLARY Rodham Clinton said on Friday that her upcoming memoir, “Hard Choices,” will not be a Washington “soap opera.”
Clinton has indicated for a long time that the book, which will be published on June 10, will focus on her work as secretary of state and not on her bitter 2008 primary battle against Barack Obama.
But “Hard Choices” apparently does at least refer to that time.
It also contains Clinton’s most detailed account yet of the September 11, 2012 attacks on the United States diplomatic mission in Benghazi, Libya, that killed four Americans.
But said she will not join the “political slugfest” over the tragedy.
She offered a blunt rebuttal to Republican lawmakers who have repeatedly accused her of bungling the response to the attack and of misleading the American public.
“Those who exploit this tragedy over and over as a political tool minimize the sacrifice of those who served our country,” Obama’s first secretary of state said in perhaps the book’s most anticipated chapter, “Benghazi: Under Attack.”
“Those who insist on politicizing the tragedy will have to do so without me,” wrote Clinton, according to excerpts published on Friday by the Politico news website.
