MADELEINE ALBRIGHT addresses a Memo to the President Elect: How We Can Restore America's Reputation and Leadership THIS EVENT IS DEFINITIVELY ON FOR 8 PM THIS EVENING. SEE YOU THERE! THIS EVENT IS SOLD OUT.
Harvard Book Store is honored to host former Secretary of State MADELEINE ALBRIGHT for a discussion of her recommendations to the man or woman who would be president. After eight years of mismanagement and miscalculation under George W. Bush, the office of the American president will be at an all-time low. The new commander-in-chief will have to recover quickly and rebuild completely. In Memo to the President Elect, former Secretary of State Albright offers a persuasive, wide-ranging set of recommendations to the prospective winner of the 2008 Presidential election. Secretary Albright explains how to select a first-rate foreign policy team, how to avoid the pitfalls that plagued earlier presidents, how to ensure that decisions, once carefully made, are successfully implemented, and how to employ the full range of tools available to a president to persuade other countries to support U.S. objectives. Making full use of her experience as an adviser to two presidents and as a key figure in four presidential transitions, Secretary Albright addresses all the major world conflicts that are sure to be paramount over the next four years at the White House. Top on her list are our confrontation with terror, Iraq, the Middle East, the control of nuclear weapons, the rise of Asia, emerging threats to democracy, and the management of U.S. relations with troublesome leaders, including Iran's President Mahomoud Ahmadinejad and North Korea's Kim Jong–Il.
