The book, which so far does not have a title, is scheduled to be published in June 2014.

There is no word on Clinton’s advance.  In 2003, the former secretary of state published her memoir, Living History,  for which she reportedly received an $8 million advance.

Here’s what to expect from her new book, according to a press release from Simon & Schuster:

The yet-to-be titled book will use a number of dramatic moments during Secretary Clinton’s tenure as Secretary of State to frame her thoughts about the recent history of U.S. foreign policy and the urgent, ongoing need for American leadership in a changing world.

She will write about her role in, and reflections on, such recent events as the killing of Osama Bin Laden; the overthrow of the Qaddafi regime in Libya; the transitions in Iraq and Afghanistan; the Arab Spring; the pivot to the Asia-Pacific; the rise of new powers like China, Brazil, Turkey, and India; building diplomatic coalitions to deal with Iran and North Korea; and our relations with important allies around the world. The book will also address many of the major trends reshaping the global landscape of the 21st century – trends in economics, energy and climate change, democracy and human rights, the critical role of women and girls, technology and innovation, health and human  development, and more.

And she will share her views as to what it takes for the United States to secure and sustain prosperity and global leadership. Throughout, Secretary Clinton will offer vivid personal anecdotes and memories of her collaboration with President Obama and his National Security team, as well as her engagement with leaders around the world.
