In 2001, sixty-three-year-old Madeleine Albright concluded her service as America’s first female secretary of state. Rather than slow down, she launched a new career as an author, professor, businesswoman, speaker, and activist in support of democratic institutions and values. Turbocharged ever since, she has clashed with presidents and prime ministers, warned against the potential revival of fascism, championed the cause of women everywhere, and labored relentlessly on behalf of people who lack the power to be heard themselves. A mother of three, Albright was thirty-nine when she landed her first professional job. \”I had a late start,\” she says, \”but once I found my voice, I was determined not to shut up. Every stage of life should be more exciting than the last.\” In this often-rollicking account of her post-government \”afterlife,\” the former secretary of state shares personal stories while also telling us exactly what she thinks of the recent void in world leadership, the danger of allowing lies to remain unanswered, and the debt owed by the old to the young. Albright, who describes herself as \”an optimist who worries a lot\” urges us to have faith in one another and warns us to fear \”those trying to drive us apart.\” Book jacket.
