About this audiobook

We heard the name "Condoleezza Rice" over and over again as the spokesperson for President George W. Bush in matters of national security and foreign affairs. She presented a balanced, firm, unafraid presence to the country after the terrible events of September 11, 2001, as she spoke to the media and the public on behalf of the President. And, when the President had something to say about our friends and foes overseas, "Condi," as she is known to her friends, was usually standing in the background.

Who is this woman who moved so easily through an international arena seen usually as a venue for men only? What prepared her for the intense pressure of the White House? Where did she learn the skills that qualified her to have the ear of the President of the United States? All these questions and more about this remarkable woman are answered in this audiobook.

    Condi by Antonia Felix 2004 This is an interesting book both because it is well written and Condaleeza Rice is an amazing person to write about.Her grandparents and parents were academics even before colleges were open to blacks in the south, They went to a school set up to train black ministers for the church. Their philosophy was that if we can be better educated than whites then segregation could be overcome. They supported the Civil Rights but kept away from anything that might cause violence.When she was 5 her mother took off a year from teaching and home schooled her the result was that she was able to skip 2 years of schooling later.He mother was a pianist and organist in the church and Condi became a professional musician. When her father got a job at Denver University she studied there after school and was infruenced by Proff Corbel in International Relations and then studied Russian studies. That is Madalyn Albrights father.Many blacks were Replican supporters as the Democrats in the South never helped them register to vote. Condi was a Democrat supporter because Jonhson had supported their cause after Kennedy died. When Russia went into Afganistan Carter's pathetic response encouraged her to become Republican as they were more aware of foreign affairs.As a Russian foreign affairs academic there was plenty of work in government because of the cold war.She worked at many places including the Pentagon,StanfordShe was around to see the collapse of the Soviet Union and the fall of the Berlin WallAmerican Football was very much part of her life as her father was a coach and this is a type of war strategy. She had a fiance who was a player.She was on the board of many companies after being in government including Chevron when a pipeline was built from Tajekistan to a Russian Black Sea Port. The position of NSA (National Security Adviser) come from the days of Truman when he needed to discuss using the atomic bomb.

    This book gives the reader insight on Condoleezza Rice and how her beliefs and actions were formed at an early age. Some sections of the book seem to go on forever. Once you make it through the never ending sections the book is a good read.
