As National Security Advisor to the president, Condoleezza Rice has never wasted time getting where she wants to go, and for the first time, this biography tells the story of her remarkable life - from precocious childhood to her role as the president's most trusted aide, following a distinguished career as scholar, professor, provost, and foreign policy advisor - all by the age of 47.

5.0 out of 5 stars a lifelong, effective fight against oppression ..., 4 Jul 2005
Alike a "TERMINATRIX" Condoleezza "Condi" Rice seems to manage her jobs, being the most martial of all war princesses, always controled and perfectly looking, coolly and compromiseless heading for preventive wars..." - Antonia Felix tries to explain the character and the life-lines from roots (from house-slaves to "evangelists of education", Condi's favorite gospel: "I need Thee every day" ) up to the present (in the year 2002: President Bush's national security advisor), describing the most prominent woman in global policy today. Superbrain or "puppet on a string" [of the Bush-Clan] or a further example of "sex sells"? Condi "surprises and offends some who assume that talented black women must all be political liberals. Rice isn't, and she has good reasons..." one reviewer wrote: Indeed, born in segregated Birmingham, Rice maybe is suffering under a sort of "Post Traumatic Stress Disorder", cannot forget the experience of the force against black ones in her childhood [1963, when white rassists placed a bomb in a black church], and therefore she strives particularly strongly for a "reversal of a faint experience": very bad conditions for the current interest members of the "Axe Of Evil" - Iraq, Iran, North Korea - isn't it? Condoleezza (versus the meaning of her name "con dolcezza" - play "with sweetness") usually isn't prim at all: to spy out (by hidden phone-hearing) the UN coworkers: that she describes with constant smile in her face only as a "dirty trick"; building up hectic reasons for a war against Saddam Hussein: don't mention it; counterarguments don't make her stumble. Antonia Felix, looking back in Condi's lifeline, writes in a thrilling manner about the racial discrimination in the USA, about the university career of Condoleezaa [aged 26 professor at the Stanford University], about her ascent to the personal coach of the white-house-chief - so that every reader of this book, beside a necessary frowning, is able to reconstruct sections of the motives of Rices political acting. So this book is very suitable to check up one of the most important wire-pullers in the enduring clash of civilizations, a story about that way, a female black person has chosen, to fight effectively against oppression ...
