 Memo to the President Elect
Madeline Albright
Former Secretary of State Madeline Albright was one of the most respected members of President Bill Clinton’s administration. Through her years of public service, Secretary Albright gleaned an enormous amount of information about foreign policy, public perception, the insider’s political game in Washington, and how to not only survive but become a valuable asset to the United States government. In her new book Memo to the President Elect, Albright writes a series of typical “internal and administrative” memos to whomever becomes our new President. She shares her wealth of knowledge to educate the American public about the enormous responsibilities of the office and ease the path for the President-elect with the goal of outlining the challenges that lie ahead.
