Albright's advice is candid—as conveyed in a con-fidential memo—and seasoned with humor and stories from her years in office. Drawing on her extensive expe-rience as an advisor to two presidents and a key figure in four presidential transitions, she provides an insider's analysis of U.S. options in addressing the decisive issues of our era: terrorism, wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, ri-valries in the Middle East, the potential for nuclear war, and headaches created by such troublesome leaders as Iran's Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, Russia's Vladimír Putin, Venezuela's Hugó Chávez, and North Korea's Kim Jong-il.
The 2008 election promises to be one of the most dramatic in our nation's history. Memo to the President Elect offers indispensable guidance for the next oc-cupant of the White House—and a wealth of insights for voters to think about before deciding who that person will be. Vissza
