A national bestseller 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.

      Former U.N. Ambassador and Secretary of State Madeleine Albright recounts her international relations experiences while working for the Clinton administration, blending details of both her work and her personal life in a nice balance. Albright reads accounts of her life as a working mother and public figure with a clear, professorial voice, befitting a stateswoman. Notably, she spends little time discussing the Lewinsky affair, focusing instead on the important achievements of the administration, often overshadowed by the scandal. Albright gives a detailed and personal glimpse into U.S. diplomatic affairs in the Middle East, Asia, and Europe, conveying her personal feelings, triumphs, and frustrations adeptly.

      The United States' first female secretary of state, Madeleine Albright, tells her fascinating life story--focusing on both her public and private lives. Students of foreign policy will learn much, particularly from Albright's descriptions of diplomacy in the Middle East and other hot spots. Albright is also candid in her discussions about the various personalities that defined the Clinton administration, and she covers every topic in painstaking detail. This memoir is extremely long, and the choice of Albright as reader makes it seem even longer. Her raspy, almost grating, voice is difficult to listen to for long periods. While memoirs often benefit from the author's own telling, this one is an exception. D.J.S. 2004 Audie Award Finalist (c) AudioFile 2004, Portland, Maine
