This is the remarkable and galvanizing true story of Condoleezza Rice--sixty-sixth United States Secretary of State under President George W. Bush, who once said about his close confidante, "Dr. Rice is not only a brilliant person, she is an experienced person. . . . America will find that she is a wise person." With the current release of her own long-awaited memoir, Condoleezza Rice is more fascinating than ever. Drawing from exclusive interviews with dozens of friends, relatives, colleagues, and teachers, as well as scores of previous articles and interviews, this thoroughly researched and detailed biography paints a compelling portrait of a born leader of resolute character who broke all barriers to excel as a black woman in an arena usually dominated by white men. From her childhood in segregated Birmingham, Alabama, where her parents fostered a love of learning and excellence at an early age, to her calling to the arts as an outstanding classical pianist, to her rise through the political ranks to the halls of power in Washington, D.C., Condi is a revealing look at the most gifted and influential woman in American political history.

This is an interesting book both because it is well written and Condaleeza Rice is an amazing person to write about.
Her grandparents and parents were academics even before colleges were open to blacks in the south, They went to a school set up to train black ministers for the church. Their philosophy was that if we can be better educated than whites then segregation could be overcome. They supported the Civil Rights but kept away from anything that might cause violence.
When she was 5 her mother took off a year from teaching and home schooled her the result was that she was able to skip 2 years of schooling later.
He mother was a pianist and organist in the church and Condi became a professional musician. When her father got a job at Denver University she studied there after school and was infruenced by Proff Corbel in International Relations and then studied Russian studies. That is Madalyn Albrights father.
Many blacks were Replican supporters as the Democrats in the South never helped them register to vote. Condi was a Democrat supporter because Jonhson had supported their cause after Kennedy died. When Russia went into Afganistan Carter's pathetic response encouraged her to become Republican as they were more aware of foreign affairs.
As a Russian foreign affairs academic there was plenty of work in government because of the cold war.
She worked at many places including the Pentagon,Stanford
She was around to see the collapse of the Soviet Union and the fall of the Berlin Wall
American Football was very much part of her life as her father was a coach and this is a type of war strategy. She had a fiance who was a player.
She was on the board of many companies after being in government including Chevron when a pipeline was built from Tajekistan to a Russian Black Sea Port.
The position of NSA (National Security Adviser) come from the days of Truman when he needed to discuss using the atomic bomb. (
