Michael Collopy (Author photograph) (illustrator). The pictures on the listing page are the actual book for sale, NOT stock photos. Fine hardcover in a fine, mylar covered, unclipped dust jacket. This is the story of Condoleezza Rice that has never been told not that of an ulta-accomplished world deader but of a little girl - and a young woman - trying to find her place in a sometimes hostile world, and of two exceptional parents, an extended family, and a community - that made all the difference, Illustrated.
Her achievements run the gamut from helping to oversee the collapse of communism in Europe and the decline of the Soviet Union, to working to protect the country in the aftermath of 9/11, to becoming only the second woman - and the first black woman ever - to serve as Secretary of State. Condoleezza Rice has excelled as a diplomat, political scientist, and concert pianist.
