Madam Secretary. Madeleine Albright
Madam Secretary. Madeleine Albright. 2013. ISBN 9780062265470. What a testament to a ground breaking woman. First woman US ambassador to the UN ( Clinton), first woman US Secretary of State (Clinton). Albright has been through it all. It’s a full autobiography that reads well, and spares no details. She came from a war wrought in Europe and settled in the US at a young age. My takeaway is her descriptions of diplomacy and how the UN can effect change in countries through assistance as well as sanctions. And it takes a long long time. Eg Milosevich in Serbia. So, there is room for optimism but a requirement for patience. Worthwhile reading as you learn a lot about Europe, the Middle East and the US.
