Condi: The Condoleezza Rice Story by Antonia Felix

The US secretary of state and likely future candidate for president could not have found a friendlier biographer than Felix, also the author of Laura: America's First Lady, First Mother. The work concentrates on family, education, and career path. Readers looking for a critical assessment of Rice's policies and politics, not to mention her academic output, will need to look elsewhere; about the toughest statement in the volume is a former Stanford colleague's comment that "even when you disagree with her about something, she has good reasons." - SBCL
