Does America, as George W. Bush has proclaimed, have a special
mission, derived from God, to bring liberty and democracy to the
world? How much influence does the Christian right have over U.S.
foreign policy? And how should America deal with violent Islamist
extremists? Traditionally, politicians have sought to downplay the
impact of religious beliefs in international affairs. In this
illuminating first-hand account, one of the most renowned figures
in American politics argues that understanding the place and power
of religion - and knowing how best to respond to it - is essential
if America is to lead successfully around the world. Madeleine
Albright examines religion and foreign affairs through the lens of
American history as well as her own personal experiences in public
office. She offers a sharp critique of U.S. policy, condemnation
for those who exploit religious fervor for violent ends, and praise
for political, cultural, and spiritual leaders who seek to harness
the values of faith to bring people together. Often using new and
telling examples from her own years in power, Albright has written
a thought-provoking work that calls for bold leadership to rein in
the many religious rivalries around the globe and lay the
groundwork for a new moral consensus.
