Madeleine Albright
Former US Secretary of State on Fascism
In collaboration with how to: Academy we present an evening conversation between Former US Secretary of State, Madeleine Albright and award-winning journalist, Emily Maitlis.
The twentieth century was defined by the clash between democracy and fascism, a struggle that created uncertainty about the survival of human freedom and left countless millions dead. Given the horrors of that experience, one might expect the world to reject the spiritual successors to Hitler and Mussolini should they arise in our era.
In Fascism: A Warning, Madeleine Albright, draws on her own experiences as a child in war-torn Europe and her distinguished career as a diplomat to question that very assumption. Fascism, as Albright shows, not only endured through the course of the twentieth century, but now presents a more virulent threat to international peace and justice than at any time since the end of World War II.
Madeleine Albright served as America’s sixty-fourth secretary of state from 1997 to 2001. Her distinguished career also includes positions at the White House, on Capitol Hill, and as U.S. ambassador to the United Nations.
Madeleine Albright's new book, 'Fascism: A Warning', is a personal and urgent examination of fascism in the twentieth century and how its legacy shapes today’s world.
