On that day, the German army poured into my hometown of Czechoslovakia" (From Chapter 1). * Albright (1937-), the first female U.S. Secretary of State, sounds the alarm about the resurgence of "fascism." Born into a Jewish family in Prague, she is the perfect person to speak on this topic, having fled the threats of Nazism and Stalinism with her family to the United States. Starting with her childhood war experiences, she discusses her impressions of leaders such as Milosevic, Putin, and Kim Jong-il, whom she confronted as the U.N. Ambassador and Secretary of State under the Clinton administration. She analyzes the dangerous signs that have been increasing domestically and internationally before and after the election of President Trump, country by country, and discusses their characteristics and how to overcome them. Rich in suggestions, it includes experiences of 20th-century fascism, insights as an Eastern European researcher, and experience as a diplomatic top. It became a #1 New York Times bestseller and an Economist Book of the Year, and has been translated in countries such as Germany, Italy, and South Korea, making it a globally talked-about work. #MadeleineAlbright #TakakoShirakawa #YoshihikoTakatori #DaisaburoYui #Books #Society/Politics/Military
