Hillary Clinton's new memoir will include Osama bin Laden, Qaddafi – but not 2016

In her as-yet untitled memoir to be published in the summer of 2014, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton will write about the attack on Osama bin Laden, Arab Spring, and relations with China, says publisher Simon & Schuster.

Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has gotten a release date for her planned memoir, and a new press release shed a little more light on what she’ll discuss in the book.

Her book will come out in 2014 and will be released by publisher Simon & Schuster.

Clinton had previously announced that she would be writing a new book about her time as secretary of state, but a press release from Simon & Schuster elaborated that the as-yet-untitled book would address the attack against Osama bin Laden and the end of Muammar Qaddafi’s regime in Libya as well as the Arab Spring in general and relations with China.

Simon & Schuster published Clinton’s previous titles as well, which include the 1996 book “It Takes A Village” and 2003’s “Living History.”

“Hillary Clinton’s extraordinary public service has given her a unique perspective on recent history and the challenges we face,” Simon & Schuster president and publisher Jonathan Karp said in a statement Thursday. “This will be the ultimate book for people who are interested in world affairs and America’s place in the world today.”

Karp is also serving as the book’s editor.

An anonymous source told the Washington Post that Clinton’s new book will not discuss the 2008 election or any presidential runs in the future.

Dear Reader,

About a year ago, I happened upon this statement about the Monitor in the Harvard Business Review – under the charming heading of “do things that don’t interest you”:

“Many things that end up” being meaningful, writes social scientist Joseph Grenny, “have come from conference workshops, articles, or online videos that began as a chore and ended with an insight. My work in Kenya, for example, was heavily influenced by a Christian Science Monitor article I had forced myself to read 10 years earlier. Sometimes, we call things ‘boring’ simply because they lie outside the box we are currently in.”

If you were to come up with a punchline to a joke about the Monitor, that would probably be it. We’re seen as being global, fair, insightful, and perhaps a bit too earnest. We’re the bran muffin of journalism.

But you know what? We change lives. And I’m going to argue that we change lives precisely because we force open that too-small box that most human beings think they live in.

The Monitor is a peculiar little publication that’s hard for the world to figure out. We’re run by a church, but we’re not only for church members and we’re not about converting people. We’re known as being fair even as the world becomes as polarized as at any time since the newspaper’s founding in 1908.

We have a mission beyond circulation, we want to bridge divides. We’re about kicking down the door of thought everywhere and saying, “You are bigger and more capable than you realize. And we can prove it.”

If you’re looking for bran muffin journalism, you can subscribe to the Monitor for $15. You’ll get the Monitor Weekly magazine, the Monitor Daily email, and unlimited access to CSMonitor.com.
