"Richly detailed. . . an intimate portrait of a diplomat." -New
Yorker From the seven-time New York Times bestselling author and
former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright-among history's most
admired and tireless public servants-a revealing, funny, and
inspiring reflection on the challenge of continuing one's career
far beyond the normal age of retirement In 2001, when Madeleine
Albright was leaving office as America's first female secretary of
state, interviewers asked her how she wished to be remembered. "I
don't want to be remembered," she answered. "I am still here and
have much more I intend to do. As difficult as it might seem, I
want every stage of my life to be more exciting than the last." In
that time of transition, the former Secretary considered the
possibilities: she could write, teach, travel, give speeches, start
a business, fight for democracy, help to empower women, campaign
for favored political candidates, spend more time with her
grandchildren. Instead of choosing one or two, she decided to do it
all. For nearly twenty years, Albright was in constant motion,
navigating half a dozen professions, clashing with presidents and
prime ministers, learning every day. After leaving the State
Department, she blazed her own trail-and gave voice to millions who
yearned for respect, regardless of gender, background, or age. Hell
and Other Destinations reveals this remarkable figure at her
bluntest, funniest, most intimate, and most serious. It is the tale
of our times anchored in lessons for all time, narrated by an
extraordinary woman who had a matchless zest for life.
