First edition of this rare glimpse inside Chinese politics. Octavo, original publisher’s half cloth, illustrated with black and white photographs and maps, bookplate to the front pastedown from “The Private Collection of Secretary Madeleine K. Albright.” Association copy, inscribed by the author on the title page, “April 11, 2007 For Madeleine Albright – Whose encouragement and support have meant so much to me…and who understands so well that communist countries do have domestic politics Susan Shirk.” 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.

"Susan Shirk has written the definitive book at the right time. For those seeking an objective look at the new China, your search is over. The bonus is that 'Fragile Superpower' is as fascinating as it is informative. A great accomplishment" (Madeleine K. Albright, former U.S. Secretary of State).
