Customer Reviews

refreshingly positive

Political biographies have more than there share of critics .Everyone thinks they could do a better job than that of the person holding office. Blood did a good job of showing the history of Madeline Albright and what she was bringing to the table. It was refreshing to 'not see' the usual bashing of a Washington Woman who Blood himself called "tough-as-nails." The only biographies most people think are "balanced' are those that tear apart the subjects accomplishments. After reading this book I felt positive and hopeful for other women in politics and passed it along to my daughter, a political science major at Harvard.(she also enjoyed it.)

Bold, Interesting, Great Story!

Madam Secretary shows us the life story of one of the most intresting woman there is. Madeleine Albrights political life has influenced foreign policy in the U.S. to a powerful, fair, understanding, yet stern system.
