"Richly detailed. . . an intimate portrait of a diplomat." -New
Yorker Now in paperback with a new epilogue In this revealing,
funny, and inspiring memoir, seven-time New York Times bestselling
author and former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright-among the
most admired and tireless public servants in history-reflects 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 yearn 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.
