Condoleezza Rice : a biography

Jacqueline Edmondson

Condoleezza Rice's story encapsulates some of the great changes that have occurred in U.S. society in recent decades. Rice, a descendent of slaves who rose to become one of the most influential women in the world, represents many of the hopes, conflicts, and questions that characterise the beginning of the 21st century in the U.S.A. The time period covered in this book (1954-2005) was a time of struggle for many in the United States and around the world. Civil rights, equal rights, the Cold War, civil wars, the war on drugs, illiteracy, and terrorism, all played out around the world as Rice moved into increasingly powerful and influential posts. By the time Condoleezza Rice was sworn in as the first African American woman to serve as Secretary of State, she was clearly one of the most powerful women in the world, a 'rock star' politician whose name was recognised the world over. With sharp intelligence and fierce loyalty to President George W. Bush, Rice has exerted a key influence on many of the international policies that affect our times. A timeline describes significant events in Rice's life, and a bibliography lists print and electronic sources for additional research.
