Juli BriskmanI was honored to briefly meet Scy. Albright when she spoke at a JenniferWexton campaign event in 2018. She graciously signed her book —Facism-A Warning —for myself & a 2nd I gave to my mother as a gift. She was a brilliant role model for women change makers. She will be missed
Bill MaxwellMadeleine Albright has been someone I admire since she sat for a meeting with Kim Jong-il, and I later read her book 'Fascism A Warning.' What an amazing and extremely intelligent woman. She made the world a better place. May she rest in peace
The New YorkerAlbright [has] serious credibility on the subject. She witnessed the evils of Fascism firsthand, as her book movingly chronicles. And she effectively makes the case: pay more attention to the signals, subtle and strong. A lot more
