Secretary Albright broke many glass ceilings throughout her career, especially for women in diplomacy and politics. Her copies of The Diplomats have instructive underlining, indicative of her decades-long career practicing and teaching diplomacy. In a MasterClass, taught with fellow former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, Secretary Albright described the importance of diplomacy in the United States: “We are a very powerful country, but it's very important for us to have relationships with the other parts of the world to know what's going on. And diplomacy is the tool in order to make that happen.”

Together, 2 volumes, in original bindings (condition generally very good).

Provenance for the lot: Secretary Madeleine K. Albright’s copies, with bookplates.
