[Music Head]

Memoir from the former U.N. Ambassador (first term) and Secretary of State (second term) during the Clinton years. Chech born during the onset of WWII, her family made it out, although her grandparents ended up in the concentration camps. Not a good ending for them. Madeleines family made it to the states. Her father being a diplomat made that a natural path for her. A very good book laying out the multitude of international problems that no doubt unfold in any administration. Interesting to note her insistence that Sadam Hussein had to go. That was taken care of by the future president. More time was spent on the Bosnia/Croatia area and Milosevec than any other area. That being the highlight of her achievements, I guess that would be natural. A good deal of the book also covers the repeated attempts to get some kind of peace agreement between Israel and Arafat also. That would not happen. Arafat blew his chance to get 90% of the land he desired. Not missing him on the world scene.
