Condi: The Condoleezza Rice Story

Condoleeza Rice is unquestionably one of the major minds of our day. Her life history and accomplishments challenge any parent to love and support thier child to the best of their ability with God's help.

It was an incredible biography. It was especially poignat in that my children went to St, Mary's Academy in Denver. The book was well written and clear complete and concise. It was a testiment that blacks can compete and be sucessfull if the right environment and attitude, is present.

The person who was talking about how terrible a person Condi is is obviously just someone who doesn't agree with her political views and thinks that if you're black and you're conservative... you're a traitor. This person obviously hasn't read this book. It's the best biography I've ever read and one of the best books I've ever read. I highly recommend this book. Why don't you read it for yourself and decide what kind of person Condi is.

Condi: The Condoleezza Rice Story by author, historian, and biographer Antonia Felix is the engaging story of the strong-willed and remarkable black woman, Condoleezza Rice, who served Present George Herbert WalkerBush as his National Security Advisor, and a continues to serve in that same capacity (as well as being a close personal confidant) to President George W. Bush. Biographer Felix draws upon exclusive interviews with dozens of people from Condoleezza's life in highlighting her character, ranging from her deep commitment to her religious faith, to her personal loyalty and passions for music, football, and Russian culture. Condi: The Condoleezza Rice Story is an amazing portrait of a great woman and is very highly recommended reading for students of current events, Black Studies, and contemporary political science.

Can Condoleeza Rice really be just one person? National Security Advisor, Former Stanford Provost, Tenured Stanford Professor, Hoover Fellow, accomplished classical pianist, figure skater, football fanatic, and the list goes on... Felix does a good job chronicling Rice's ascension from Birmingham to Denver to Palo Alto and eventually Washington D.C. The book is chock full of insights from family, fellow professors, and Washington colleagues. One the more interesting vignettes described a Old West style "staredown" between Rice and Boris Yeltsin at the White House steps. A fascinating read about a potential Presidential candidate.
