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.
