Condoleezza Rice has until now remained a mystery behind an elegant, cool veneer. In this stunning new biography,
New York Times reporter Elisabeth Bumiller peels back the layers and presents a revelatory portrait of the first black
female secretary of state and President George W. Bush’s national security adviser on September 11, 2001. The
audiobook relates the personal voyage of a young black woman out of the segregated American South and also tells
the sweeping story of a tumultuous half­century in the nation’s history.
In CONDOLEEZZA RICE: AN AMERICAN LIFE, we see Rice’s Alabama childhood in Birmingham when it was the
central battleground of the civil rights movement; her education in foreign policy; and her confrontations with
minorities and women while she was provost at Stanford University in the 1990s. Examining the current
administration, Bumiller explores in depth Rice’s extraordinarily close relationship with George W. Bush, her battles
with Vice President Dick Cheney, and her indirect but crucial role in the ousting of Defense Secretary Donald
Rumsfeld. Bumiller shows us Rice missing clues to the September 11 attacks and waging war against Saddam
Hussein. In addition, we watch Rice’s recent attempts to salvage the ruins of the Iraq policy she helped create and to
avoid war with Iran.
Drawing on extensive interviews with Rice and more than 150 others, Bumiller explores Rice’s effectiveness as
national security adviser and secretary of state, her longtime political ambitions, and her future on the world stage.
