Hillary Clinton to make $14million advance for her new book but it won't mention either her failed presidential campaign in 2008 or if she's decided to run in 2016

Hillary Clinton is reportedly getting a $14million advance for her upcoming memoir as it is widely considered a launching pad for a presidential bid in 2016.
The former Secretary of State has already written four books, but this advance is by far the biggest yet- nearly double her last book's advance of $8million.
The $14million price tag comes in spite of the fact that the yet-untitled book will not make any mention of her presidential runs, both past and present. It will focus solely on her term as the country's top diplomat and not talk about any plans for 2016 or her failed 2008 bid.

Specifically, The New York Post reports that some highlights will include her detailed accounts of the assassination of Osama bin Laden, the Arab Spring and terrorist attack on the American consulate in Benghazi, Libya.
'Hillary Clinton's extraordinary public service has given her a unique perspective on recent history and the challenges we face,' Jonathan Karp, president and publisher of the Simon & Schuster Publishing Group and the book's editor, 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.'
As with 'Living History,' Clinton was represented by Washington attorney Robert Barnett, who has handled deals for President Barack Obama and Clinton's husband, former President Bill Clinton. Karp previously served as editor for another Barnett client, Senator Edward M. Kennedy, and his memoir 'True Compass.'

The book advance- which is just $1million shy of what her husband Bill Clinton made on his memoir- will not be her only form of income as she has signed with an agent and will be giving paid lectures to deep-pocketed audiences.
Hillary Clinton, 65, stepped down as secretary of state earlier this year after serving throughout Obama's first term.

Polls indicate she would be a leading contender for the 2016 Democratic presidential nomination, but she has yet to announce a decision about a bid. Clinton was defeated by Obama for the Democratic nomination in 2008.
Her book will likely be anticipated on several levels — as a possible signal of a presidential run; as the latest chronicle of one of the most eventful public lives of the past quarter-century; as the continuation of a tradition of secretary of state memoirs that includes Dean Acheson's Pulitzer Prize-winning 'Present at the Creation' and works by Henry Kissinger, Madeleine Albright and Clinton's immediate predecessor, Condoleezza Rice.

According to Simon & Schuster, Clinton will write about everything from the killing of Osama bin Laden and the Arab Spring to China and climate change.
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.'
Clinton, who already has started writing the book, was often praised as a hard-working and effective secretary of state.
Simon & Schuster's announcement mentions the 2011 overthrow of Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi, but not the Benghazi attack. The publisher did not immediately respond to a request for comment about the attack.

The announcement also says nothing about Clinton's 2008 presidential run, an intense and sometimes bitter campaign that led to widespread reports of animosity between Clinton and Obama.
A person familiar with the book said that Clinton does not plan to write about the 2008 campaign or any possible future runs. The person was not authorized to speak publicly about the book and requested anonymity to discuss it.
Clinton is a well-established author. Her 'Living History' was a million-seller that was highly publicized, if only for her thoughts on her husband's affair with White House intern Monica Lewinsky.
Her other books, all from Simon & Schuster and all released while she was first lady, include her best-seller about raising children, 'It Takes a Village'; 'Dear Socks, Dear Buddy: Kids' Letters to the First Pets'; and 'An Invitation to the White House: At Home With History.'
