Helpful Score: 1

This is an amazing story of Condoleezza Rice, Secretary of State, in the cabinet of President George W. Bush. Many believe her to be one of the most influential women in America. Although the book includes interviews from persons who know her the portrait of Ms. Rice is limited. It's like looking at edited snap shots of her life. It's really a story about the factors that influenced her career choices and political choices.

Condolezza the person is vague - she speaks 3 languages, she studied and plays classical piano, loves football, daddy's girl, was taught by outstanding professors at the University of Denver and Notre Dame University, she was faculty/administrator at Stanford and her connections to the Bush family is documented.

If you want to read a history about her rise to power this is the book. If you want to know what makes her tick read between the line.
