In Hard Choices Hillary Clinton reflects on her time as Secretary of State and how difficult it is to get the balance right between big picture blue sky thinking for a better world and everyday reality for the billions on the planet.
Ordinary folk like us might say about our leaders things like, 'they oughta do something about that', 'what were they thinking?' and 'why don't they just..?'. When the planet and world peace is at stake, it seems its not that simple most of the time. But sometimes it is.
While the focus is politics there is also warmth, passion, vision, homespun wisdom and humour - like the description of the 'world's weirdest taxi queue' in Copenhagen in 2009.
Followers of world affairs will appreciate the insights the former First Lady gives into what's been going on behind the scenes of key world events in the last 10 years and anyone who has tried to negotiate anything in a committee or group setting will see similarities to their own experiences, especially if the negotiations have been long and tedious, massive compromise has been involved and not everyone wants to play by the same rules.
