Clinton's State Department memoir will hit bookshelves as the former first lady and New York senator sits atop polls about hypothetical candidates as the leading Democratic contender should she seek the presidency. Since leaving the State Department, Clinton has traveled widely, giving speeches to industry groups, college students and others while joining the foundation led by her daughter, Chelsea Clinton, and her husband, former President Bill Clinton.

Clinton's potential candidacy has been eagerly anticipated by Democrats, who frequently ask Clinton about her intentions and encourage her to try to become the nation's first female president. A series of Democratic outside groups is already building support for a future campaign, and Republicans are actively critiquing her record.

Republicans have criticized Clinton's response to the killing of four Americans in the 2012 attacks on a diplomatic compound in Benghazi, Libya, and questioned her handling of relations with Russia. In 2009, Clinton memorably gave Russia's top diplomat a red button labeled, "reset," to symbolize how U.S. relations had thawed, but the button was mistranslated into Russian.
