Sample Book Insights:
#1 Madeleine Albright’s pins are a collection that has grown organically over the years in response to the changing circumstances and opportunities of her life and career. They are a collection that has been amplified and enriched by the events that have engaged their owner.
#2 The pins collection reveals a rich diversity of motifs and images. Angels, stars, balloons, American flags, and spaceships are juxtaposed with a menagerie of birds, bees, beetles, butterflies, fish, frogs, turtles, and snakes.
#3 The use of pins as a diplomatic tool is not in any State Department manual, and it would never have happened if not for Saddam Hussein. During President Bill Clinton’s first term, I served as ambassador to the UN.
#4 I had the temerity to criticize Saddam Hussein when he refused to comply with my demands, and the Iraqi government published a poem entitled To Madeleine Albright, Without Greetings. I wore a pin of a serpent to send a message.
