Albright's state deportment

Williams, Ian | March 15, 1999 issue

The article focuses on the book "Seasons of Her Life: A Biography of Madeleine Korbel Albright." Flirtatious and ferocious at the same time, Secretary of State Madeleine Korbel Albright stamps the world stage over Kosovo, threatening fire from heaven if Serbian strongman Slobodan Milosevic does not agree to peace terms. Just as over Bosnia, she may even believe what she says. Unfortunately, the Serb leader is much better informed. He knows that whatever the public differences, Belgrade and Washington are united in wanting to avoid North Atlantic Treaty Organization air strikes. Albright's grandstanding is a necessary part of the charade in which the U.S. acts scary and the Serbs act scared.
