From Refugee to the U.S. Secretary of State

She likes to involve herself in the world at its widest, and she has taken her career beyond the normal age of retirement. She wears many hats as a former Secretary of State (1997-2001), a U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, a well sought-after speaker, a New York Times best-selling author, a mother, and a grandmother. She is known for her signature pin collection, her sense of humor, and her zest for life. She has blazed her own trail, yet she is still marching on sharing her knowledge and expertise on foreign policy, refugees’ rights, women’s rights, education reforms, and the list goes on. She is the one and only, Madeleine Albright.

Hell and Other Destinations'', a memoir by Madeleine Albright, is brilliant, hilarious, and serious. Readers can experience how the world and its politics have evolved through the eyes of Madeleine Albright. Her life experience as a refugee from the former Czechoslovakia to the United States is inspiring. In her book, Madeleine bluntly shares her opinions on Hillary Clinton as a female leader, the Bush administration’s approach on the handling of the Afghanistan conflict, Barack Obama’s effective foreign policy, and her criticism of fellow Secretaries of State Colin Powell and Condoleezza Rice for their failure in handling the 9/11 crisis. “Hell and Other Destinations” will leave readers inspired with the yearning to know more about the life of this extraordinary woman.
