A national bestseller on its original publication in 2003, Madam Secretary is a riveting account of the life of Americas first woman Secretary of State, Madeleine Albright. For eight years, during Bill Clintons two presidential terms, Albright was a high-level participant in some of the most dramatic events of our timefrom the pursuit of peace in the Middle East to NATOs intervention in the Balkans to Americas 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 Americas leading role in a changing world.With a new epilogue by the author, Madam Secretary offers an inimitable blend of Albrights warm humor, probing insights, and distinctive ideas.
