  COOK, Steven A. [Madeleine Albright].

  The Struggle For Egypt: From Nasser to Tahrir Square.

  New York: Oxford University Press, 2012.

  First edition of this historical account of Egypt in the modern era. Octavo, original publisher's black boards, illustrated with black and white photographs and maps. Association copy, inscribed by the author, 'To Secretary Albright - With admiration & respect. Enjoy! - Steven'. 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. Fine in a near fine dust jacket. Bookplate of Madeleine Albright.
