Former Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton defends her actions in response to the 2012 terrorist attack in Benghazi, Libya in her new book. 

In her new tome "Hard Choices," she writes that she will not "be part of a political slugfest on the backs of dead Americans."

She devotes a chapter to the Benghazi attack in her new book, largely in response to Republicans who accused her and the Obama administration of thwarting investigations into the attack and misleading the public. The attack killed four Americans on Sept. 11, 2012, including Chris Stevens, a United States ambassador. 

"Those who exploit this tragedy over and over as a political tool minimize the sacrifice of those who served our country," Clinton writes in the chapter. 

According to The Associated Press, Clinton says she claims responsibility for the mishandling leading up to the attack, but writes that there has been "a regrettable amount of misinformation, speculation and flat-out deceit" by politicians and some in the media. 

"Those who insist on politicizing the tragedy will have to do so without me," she writes. 

Clinton devotes a full chapter to the attack to defend herself prior to her rumored 2016 presidential bid. 

While her Democratic colleagues have been trying to defend her actions, their answers to tough questions have been met with intense scrutiny. At one point, former National Security Council spokesman Tommy Vietor shrugged off questions about the attack from Fox News, saying "Dude, this was, like, two years ago."

The book, which is to be released June 10, will offer what she claims is the most accurate version of events. 

Yet, Republicans will still likely criticize Clinton about the attack if she runs agains for presidential office. 

"Most Americans would probably agree she made the wrong decisions," the Republican National Committee wrote in a memo sent Friday, responding to her book's chapter about Benghazi. "The more Americans learn about hard choices like these, the less likely they will be to choose Clinton in any future election. A book isn't going to change that."

In response, Obama and Democrats have accused Republicans of politicizing the tragedy. The Obama administration has also contended that there is no new information regarding the attacks. 

The Benghazi attacker has not been arrested, and bipartisan and GOP-led investigations have accused the State Department of providing inadequate security in Benghazi. 

Secretary of State John Kerry will testify before the House Oversight Committee next month about the attacks in what will be the eighth investigation into the attack. 

Clinton writes in the book that she ordered an investigation nine days after the attacks, and implemented all of the recommendations made by the Accountability Review Board. 

The Obama administration originally attributed the attack due to a YouTube video mocking Muhammed, the Islamic prophet, but retracted the statement after that explanation was criticized. 

Clinton writes that there were "scores of attackers that night, almost certainly with differing motives. It is inaccurate to state that every single one of them was influenced by this hateful video. It is equally inaccurate to state that none of them were. Both assertions defy not only the evidence but logic as well."

Clinton also writes that she did not see the communication cables requesting additional security in Benghazi.
