Reception

The review in The New York Times described Rice's "retelling of the foreign policy decisions of the Clinton and Obama administrations" as "clinical."[7] The Times described how Rice had become a "lightning rod of partisan hatred" as she suffered the fallout for the Benghazi affair. Rice writes that she is most comfortable in the "policy-focused, behind-the-scenes roles" but was thrust into the limelight as a major player in Benghazi.[7]

NPR called her memoir "candid" and said that she told her personal story with honesty.[6]

Publishers Weekly called the book a "stellar debut memoir" of Rice's "public service career".[8]
