Former U.S. Secretary of State Madeleine Albright speaks with humor, insight and eloquence about her life and career as a refugee girl who rose to become the world's most powerful woman.

Albright sketches a vivid portrait of her years as secretary of state and offers candid descriptions of foreign leaders she encountered throughout the world. She also discusses America’s role in the world, the effect of strife on the global economy, current regional conflicts, the future of democracy, and the challenge of ensuring security and building peace.

While in office, Albright was renowned for her courage in "telling it like it is." Now, as she begins a new life as an aspiring author and businessperson, she provides audiences with a unique and no-holds-barred account of service at the highest levels of the American government.
