Hardback. Condizione: Good. ?Richly detailed. . . an intimate portrait of a diplomat.? ?New YorkerFrom the seven-time New York Times bestselling author and former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright?among history's most admired and tireless public servants?a revealing, funny, and inspiring reflection on the challenge of continuing one?s career far beyond the normal age of retirementIn 2001, when Madeleine Albright was leaving office as America?s first female secretary of state, interviewers asked her how she wished to be remembered. ?I don?t want to be remembered,? she answered. ?I am still here and have much more I intend to do. As difficult as it might seem, I want every stage of my life to be more exciting than the last.?In that time of transition, the former Secretary considered the possibilities: she could write, teach, travel, give speeches, start a business, fight for democracy, help to empower women, campaign for favored political candidates, spend more time with her grandchildren. Instead of choosing one or two, she decided to do it all. For nearly twenty years, Albright was in constant motion, navigating half a dozen professions, clashing with presidents and prime ministers, learning every day. After leaving the State Department, she blazed her own trail?and gave voice to millions who yearned for respect, regardless of gender, background, or age.Hell and Other Destinations reveals this remarkable figure at her bluntest, funniest, most intimate, and most serious. It is the tale of our times anchored in lessons for all time, narrated by an extraordinary woman who had a matchless zest for life.…

Condizione: Very Good. "In this fascinating book, Madeleine Albright weaves together history, personal experiences, and brilliant analysis in exploring how religion can be a force for liberty and tolerance rather than oppression and terror." -- Walter Isaacson, author of The Code Breaker The New York Times bestselling author and former secretary of state Madeleine Albright offers a provocative and very personal look at the role of religion in America's foreign policy Traditionally, America's foreign policy professionals have sought to downplay the impact of religious beliefs in international affairs. Reinforced by the constitutional separation between church and state, policymakers have shied away from this potentially volatile and divisive issue. In this timely precient book, one of the most renowned figures in American politic argues that in today's climate, a secular approach is no longer sufficient. The 21st century seems to be devolving into a period of religious war, and in an era of confrontation between international terrorism and the West, our political leaders can no longer avoid dealing directly and explicitly with religious issues. In The Mighty and the Almighty, Madeleine Albright examines religion and foreign affairs through the lens of U.S. history as well as her own experience in public office. She offers a sharp critique of U.S. policy, condemnation for those who exploit religious fervor for violent ends, and praise for political, cultural, and spiritual leaders who seek to harness the values of faith to unite us in these confusing and dangerous times. Illuminating and engrossing, this is a provocative work calling for leadership that is bold enough to rein in divisive religious rivalries and lay the groundwork for a new moral consensus. How does a nation founded on the separation of church and state confront a world where God and world affairs are increasingly intertwined? U.S. Policy in the Middle East: A candid critique of America's approach to the Arab-Israeli conflict, the Iraq War, and relationships with key nations like Saudi Arabia and Iran. The Clash of Civilizations: An insider's analysis of the growing divide between the West and the Islamic world, arguing that a purely secular approach is no longer enough to bridge the gap. The Rise of Political Islam: From the Iranian Revolution to the challenge of Al Qaeda, Albright examines the forces behind religious fervor and condemns those who exploit it for violent ends. Human Rights and Foreign Policy: Drawing on her own experiences in public office, Albright makes the case for a new moral consensus grounded in faith, tolerance, and liberty.…

Paperback. Condizione: Fair. #1 New York Times Bestseller "Albright outlines the warning signs of fascism and offers concrete actions for restoring America's values and reputation. There is priceless wisdom on every page." --Booklist (starred review) "Fascism [is] the work of a woman who knows authoritarianism when she sees it. And she sees the seeds of it not only in a slew of leaders hell bent on subverting democratic norms--Turkey's Erdogan, Venezuela's Maduro, Hungary's Orbán, and others--but also in Donald Trump, whom she calls in the book 'the first antidemocratic president in modern U.S. history.'" -- The Daily Beast A personal and urgent examination of Fascism in the twentieth century and how its legacy shapes today's world, written by one of the most admired public servants in American history, the first woman to serve as U.S. secretary of state. A Fascist, observed Madeleine Albright, "is someone who claims to speak for a whole nation or group, is utterly unconcerned with the rights of others, and is willing to use violence and whatever other means are necessary to achieve the goals he or she might have."  The twentieth century was defined by the clash between democracy and Fascism, a struggle against authoritarianism that created uncertainty about the survival of human freedom and left millions dead. Given the horrors of that experience, one might expect the world to reject the spiritual successors to Hitler and Mussolini should they arise in our era. Fascism: A Warning is drawn from Madeleine Albright's experiences as a child in war-torn Europe and her distinguished career as a diplomat to question that assumption. Fascism, as she shows, not only endured through the twentieth century but now presents a more virulent threat to peace and justice than at any time since the end of World War II. The momentum toward democracy that swept the world when the Berlin Wall fell has gone into reverse, a trend Albright explores through her deep understanding of international relations. The United States, which historically championed the free world, is led by a president who exacerbates division and heaps scorn on democratic institutions. In many countries, economic, technological, and cultural factors are weakening the political center and empowering the extremes of right and left. Contemporary leaders such as Vladimir Putin and Kim Jong-un are employing many of the tactics used by Fascists in the 1920s and 30s. Fascism: A Warning is a book for our times that is relevant to all times. Written by someone who not only studied history but helped to shape it, this call to arms teaches us the lessons from 20th century history we must understand and the questions we must answer if we are to save ourselves from repeating the tragic errors of the past. Drawing on both her experiences as a child in war-torn Europe and her distinguished career in foreign policy, Secretary Albright offers crucial insights into this urgent threat: A Historical Perspective: Explore the rise of Fascism in the 20th century, from Mussolini's Italy to Hitler's Germany, and understand the devastating clash with democracy that defined the era. The Authoritarian Playbook: Learn the tactics employed by Fascists of the 1920s and 30s and see how contemporary leaders like Vladimir Putin are using the same strategies to consolidate power today. A Warning for Today: Confront the lessons from the past we must understand to counter the modern reversal of democratic momentum and save ourselves from repeating tragic errors.…
