The Sovereignty Wars: Reconciling America with the World.

First edition of this thought provoking work about the United States and its interactions with other countries around the globe. Octavo, original publisher's half cloth, bookplate to the front pastedown from “The Private Collection of Secretary Madeleine K. Albright.” Accompanied by a typed autograph letter from Richard N. Haass of the Council on Foreign Relations to Madeleine K. Albright laid in. The recipient, Madeleine K. Albright, was the first woman to serve as the U.S. Secretary of State. She acted under President Bill Clinton from 1997 to 2001, leading the United States through foreign policy in the Middle East with the endorsement of military action in Iraq. At the 1998 NATO summit, Albright coined the “3 Ds” of NATO, “which is no diminution of NATO, no discrimination and no duplication – because I think that we don’t need any of those three “Ds” to happen.” After her tenure as Secretary of State, she served as chair of the consulting Albright Stonebridge Group and was the Michael and Virginia Mortara Endowed Distinguished Professor in the Practice of Diplomacy at Georgetown University’s School of Foreign Service. For Albright’s contributions to foreign policy and relations that defined a century, President Barack Obama awarded her the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 2012. Near fine in a near fine dust jacket, small bump to the crown of the spine. Jacket design by Zoe Norvell.
