Memo to the President Elect: How We Can Restore America's Reputation and Leadership Audiobook

" Pretty good book based on years of useful experience. However it dragged on and some parts had a very heavy feel. Recommended to better understand both domestic and global politics. "

" Interesting thoughts; e.g., "The men who wrote the Constitution did remarkably well, consdiering the absence of female guidance." "

" Tedious. Informative. But tedious "

" A comprehensive look at what Madeline Albright thinks the next president should do with the presidency. Good background info, easy to digest and informative, though i don't agree with her on all fronts. She's a smart lady with lots of important friends (of whom there are many stories in this book). "

" This book was such a great read. I really enjoyed Albright's writing style - eloquent, yet easy to understand. I learned so much about US foreign policy and just how the State dept operates. "

" love madeleome albright! "

" She seems to me to be spot on regarding the state of America's reputation in the Middle Eastern region. It is quite low and desperately needs mending. "

" A lesson in management as well as government bureaucracy. "

" Surprisingly easy read for non-fiction. I wish I had read it before the election, but it was still highly relevant. "

" Great. Especially for someone like me who knows nothing about world politics:) "

" An excellent "memo" on many subjects where the next President can improve specific situations and world opinions of the US. Our book club will read it in Sept, heading into the election. "

" Smart woman. Book preachy in tone. "

" Dense for those who have little sense of government and politics. Makes you appreciate how complex our government is and how difficult the job of president is. "

" It's a good read, with some good insight, but a bit wordy. I'd probably get fired if my memos were this long :) "

" Fascinating to listen to. I learned quite a bit about our foreign policy. Really think everyone should read it/listen to it before they vote "

" very timely and insightful... a slower read (need to think about each idea), but learning so much... "

" A good refresher on government and the current geopolitical situation. "

" I found this very informative on current events. and she provides the info necessary to understand international and political news that most of us don't have a context for. And since it is election year it is interesting to listen to the candiates and see how their ideas compares to M. Albright. "

" i actually only made it about halfway through this book and felt like that was good enough. is that a sign? "

" I could see this brilliant diplomat playing a role in the Obama administration. I am sure he is listening.... "

" A voice of reason---a model for leadership. Answers the question, "now what?". "

" except for her justification of the sanctions against iraq, i agree with most of what albright writes. she's right to want to restore american prestige and soft power in the world. a quick, entertaining read, but could have used more juicy details. she doesn't hold back in criticizing prez bush "

" I LOVE Madeline Albright! This was a great book, I learned so much about diplomacy and how leaders should navigate foreign affairs. Her straight-forward prose and interesting anecdotes made for an entertaining, yet educational read. "

" This woman is incredible; her writing is witty and oh, so relevant. "

" or trying to read...was a book club selection...we read all sorts of different books... "

" I got bored after the fourth out of 8 cds, so I switched to Blink! "

" I love Mrs. Albright's down-to-earth style, as well as her sense of humor. "
