soft cover version of Madam Secretary: A Memoir, which was written by Madeleine Albright and is BRAND NEW condition with slight shelf wear (NOT a library book; NO reminder marks; NO punch holes).

Albright proposes to \"combine the personal with policy\" in these memoirs, a sensible narrative strategy, considering her emblematic struggles as a working mother breaking through the glass ceiling of the foreign policy establishment to become U.N. ambassador and secretary of state. Albright\'s recollections of her background as a child refugee from Czechoslovakia and its twin scourges of Nazism and Communism (later, she accounts for the belated discovery of her Jewish heritage) suggest a basis for her belief in \"assertive multilateralism.\" Although she laments coining this derided term, it\'s an apt name for her doctrine that human rights should be protected by the international community, led by American power. In the Clinton administration, this was the hawkish position, opposed by Colin Powell, William Cohen and others more cautious about military commitments. Albright treats these and other rivalries with restraint, but she is relatively candid about policy and personality conflicts, to an extent unusual in a diplomat and welcome in an autobiographer. Pitched at a popular audience, Albright\'s anecdotal style is engagingly direct, but it\'s not suited to mounting a comprehensive defense of humanitarian interventionism in light of failures in Somalia, Rwanda and Bosnia. Albright is willing to admit mistakes, though she generally pursues the political memoirist\'s standard agenda of spinning the historical record. Filled with shrewd character sketches of world leaders, Albright\'s descriptions of the Balkan conflicts, the Middle East peace process and other critical negotiations are thorough and insightful. This memoir captures the disarmingly blunt purposefulness that made its author an irrepressible force in foreign affairs.

hardcover version of Memo To The President Elect: How We Can Restore Amerrica’s Reputation and Leadership, which was written by Gregg Madeleine Albright and is BRAND NEW with slight shelf wear and a reminder mark; NOT a library book; NO punch holes.

In Memo to the President Elect, former secretary of state and bestselling author Madeleine Albright offers provocative ideas about how to confront the striking array of challenges that the next commander-in-chief will face and how to return America to its rightful role as a source of inspiration across the globe. Much more than a set of policy prescriptions, Secretary Albright\'s writing blends lessons from the past with forward-looking suggestions about how to assemble a first-rate foreign policy team, anticipate the actions of other key countries, make full use of presidential power without repeating the excesses of the Bush administration, and revive America\'s commitment to its founding ideals. Albright\'s advice is candid—as conveyed in a confidential memo—and seasoned with humor and stories from her years in office. Drawing on her extensive experience as an advisor to two presidents and a key figure in four presidential transitions, she provides an insider\'s analysis of U.S. options in addressing the decisive issues of our era: terrorism, wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, rivalries in the Middle East, the potential for nuclear war, and headaches created by such troublesome leaders as Iran\'s Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, Russia\'s Vladimir Putin, Venezuela\'s Hugo Chávez, and North Korea\'s Kim Jong-il. The 2008 election promises to be one of the most dramatic in our nation\'s history. Memo to the President Elect offers indispensable guidance for the next occupant of the White House—and a wealth of insights for voters to think about before deciding who that person will be.
