The Mighty and the Almighty - Reflections on America, God, and World Affairs

Former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright gives students a thorough analysis of the role of religion in America''s foreign policy. Traditionally, politicians have sought to downplay the impact of religious beliefs in international affairs, but Madeleine Albright argues that understanding the place and power of religion-and knowing how best to respond to it-is essential if America is to lead successfully around the world.
