  Smith's The Utility of Force: The Art of War in the Modern World; From the Library of Secretary Madeleine K. Albright

  SMITH, Rupert. [Madeleine Albright].

  The Utility of Force: The Art of War in the Modern World.

  London: Penguin Books, 2006.

  Second edition of this critical analysis of how warfare has evolved from traditional industrial-age conflicts to modern "war amongst the people." Octavo, original publisher's wrappers. From the library of  Madeleine K. Albright with her bookplate to the front pastedown. 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. In near fine condition. Cover design by Antonio Colaco. Ownership inscription on the verso of the rear panel
