Hell and Other Destinations: A 21st-Century Memoir by Madeleine K. Albright

2.0

Clearly written and informative, but nothing groundbreaking in terms of ideas. Yet, Albright offers some interesting insights into domestic and international politics. The most compelling chapters are those that talk about her family history in the old Czechoslovakia. Also very interesting are her insights into the life and personality of Vaclav Havel, given Havel's stature as a political figure and a writer. Overall, a light reading with some food for thought on what it means to be part of a civil society--the responsibilities each citizen has, beginning with our politicians--and even on how the US may get back to being one someday.
