Inspiring Lady

"Condoleezza Rice: Being the Best" is a delightful little book about the life of currently the most powerful woman in the world. The biography traces her life from the time she was born and raised in a middle class family in Birmingham, Alabama, her love for music and how she ended up with a remarkable career in international relations up to the time she was appointed as the national security advisor. Condi's genius, skills and accomplishments serve as an inspiration to young people, especially girls. She is a role model of excellence as she made it purely on merit, to high echelons of immense influence at a very young age. This is excellent reading for children who can be inspired by this unique and remarkable lady.

Rising Star

This little book is a handy reference guide on Condoleeza Rice's skills and accomplishments. I plan to keep it near by as her star continues to rise.

Brilliant woman

An excellent story about the life of this genius. Doesn't go much into her service as National Security Advisor, but it does give some insight into her accomplishments. Recommended for young women!
