Twice As Good Condoleezza Rice And Her Path To Power (PB) By: Marcus Mabry
Before becoming the first female African-American secretary of state, Condoleezza Rice was the first woman to be named national security advisor to the president of the United States and, before that, the first woman, first minority, and youngest person to be named provost of Stanford University. Yet for all her ceiling-shattering accomplishments, Rice remains enigmatic. Mabry’s penetrating, multilayered study of Rice is the most comprehensive portrait ever reported of this powerful woman. It was an editor's choice of The New York Times' Book Review.
