About Madeleine Albright

The first female secretary of state, Madeleine Albright discusses the impact of history-making events — and the history-makers themselves.

Diplomacy: America’s Indispensable Role: A diplomat of rare ability, Madeleine K. Albright discusses America’s indispensable role throughout the globe – defender and promoter of freedom, protector of democracy, a blanket against terrorist threats, an enforcer of global security and a provider of both peaceful solutions and strategies for resolving conflict throughout the world.

A Bridge to Peace: Albright earned the respect of a world too often in need of her talents, bridging the divides between nationality, race, religion and gender to provide opportunities for peace in the world’s most contested regions.

Esteemed, Respected, Trusted: Albright served as the U.S. representative to the U.N., was a member of the Cabinet and the National Security Council and is the former president of the Center for National Policy. In addition, she teaches at Georgetown University's School of Foreign Service, is Chairperson to the Women, Faith and Development Alliance, and has also penned three books: a best-selling memoir, Madam Secretary; The Mighty and the Almighty: Reflections on America, God and World Affairs; and Memo to the President-Elect: How We Can Restore America’s Reputation and Leadership.

Inside Looking Out: Known for her humor and wit as well as her ability to inspire and challenge – all while “telling it like it is” – Albright offers a unique, profound perspective, but one tempered by experience and a keen, incisive intellect. Now, she provides audiences with a no-holds-barred account of service at the highest levels of American government.
