'[Condoleezza Rice]... digs deep into the story of her family, including her slave ancestors, and the hugely influential figure of her father, the Rev. John Rice. We follow the family's journey from segregation in Alabama to educational opportunity in Colorado and finally to California. We learn much with a detail uncommon in a political biography of her almost frighteningly intense childhood.' JONATHAN FREEDLAND --m

Product Description
Condoleezza Rice is the most powerful woman in the world. Yet her rise to power is one of stark contrasts: as a black woman she is surrounded by white Republicans many times more wealthy than she is. In this authorised biography, unfettered access has been given to delve into a private life that has hitherto been closely guarded. The same mentor of Madeleine Albright's, drove Rice on from her complex childhood in militant segregated Birmingham where her school friend was murdered by the Ku Klux Klan. Having a love for 'bad boys', she forged a friendship with George W Bush and became an instant celebrity when she joined his campaign.
