Albright is informed and thoughtful about international politics. I respect that about her. However, if you are going to read this book you should know that she tries really hard to be fair, but believes in her heart of hearts that She and Clinton were on the right path (even when they failed) and that George Bush has been on the wrong path for much of his presidency. But, considering who she is, can you blame her for feeling this way?

A comprehensive look at what Madeline Albright thinks the next president should do with the presidency. Good background info, easy to digest and informative, though i don't agree with her on all fronts. She's a smart lady with lots of important friends (of whom there are many stories in this book).

except for her justification of the sanctions against iraq, i agree with most of what albright writes. she's right to want to restore american prestige and soft power in the world. a quick, entertaining read, but could have used more juicy details. she doesn't hold back in criticizing prez bush

I found this very informative on current events. and she provides the info necessary to understand international and political news that most of us don't have a context for. And since it is election year it is interesting to listen to the candiates and see how their ideas compares to M. Albright.
