    <body><![CDATA[I read this memoir while also reading Bill Clinton's. Should you ever find yourself torn between the two, go for this one. Albright is insightful, a shrewd judge of character, self-deprecating, funny, and brings you into her thought processes throughout her public career, lending an entirely new dim...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/78267447">more...</a>]]></body>

Madeleine Albright's story was inspiring as a chronicle of what one person can do in her life, and also as a fascinating reminder to be more aware of foreign policy.<br/><br/>Also, if you've read the book, don't doubt the surreal event at the bottom of page 293.
