Much more than a set of policy prescriptions, Albright’s writing blends lessons from the past with forward-looking suggestions about how to assemble a first-rate foreign policy team, anticipate the actions of other key countries, make full use of presidential power and revive America’s commitment to its founding ideals. Drawing on her extensive experience as an advisor to two presidents and a key figure in four presidential transitions, she provides an insider’s analysis of U.S. options in addressing the decisive issues of our era.
Albright discussed her book in a program sponsored by the Library’s Center for the Book. Her remarks were also covered in an article in the June 2008 issue of the Library of Congress Information Bulletin.
