Madam Secretary

A Memoir

De: Madeleine Albright

Narrado por: Madeleine Albright

A national best seller on its original publication in 2003, Madam Secretary is a riveting account of the life of America's first woman Secretary of State, Madeleine Albright. For eight years, during Bill Clinton's two presidential terms, Albright was a high-level participant in some of the most dramatic events of our time - from the pursuit of peace in the Middle East to NATO's intervention in the Balkans to America's troubled relations with Iran and Iraq. In this thoughtful memoir, one of the most admired women in U.S. history reflects on her remarkable personal story, including her upbringing in war-torn Europe and the balancing of career and family responsibilities, and on America's leading role in a changing world.

With a new epilogue by the author, Madam Secretary offers an inimitable blend of Albright's warm humor, probing insights, and distinctive ideas.

Amazing, Beautiful

What an incredible read! Madeline Albright inspires us all as a woman who did not begin her political career until she was in her 30s with two small children. She was also the first female Secretary of State and came from an immigrant family. I learned a lot from Madeline and feel so inspired for learning more about her journey.
