From former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright comes a moving and thoughtful memoir of her
formative years in Czechoslovakia during the tumult of Nazi occupation World War II fascism
and the onset of the Cold War. An intensely personal journey into the past that offers vital
lessons for the future Prague Winter combines the intimacy of an autobiography with the drama
of an exciting and well-told story- all underpinned by the gravity and intelligence of a
serious work of history. The result is a highly readable and incisive work filled with tragedy
and triumph a resonant narrative informed by Albright's remarkable life experience and her
characteristic candor in speaking hard truths.
