Celebrated Public Servant Madeline Albright Talks
Having served from 1997 to 2001 in the Clinton administration, Madeleine Albright made history as the first ever female United States Secretary Of State and continues to break ground outside of the Oval Office as a UN ambassador and diplomat. One of the nation's most admired public servants, Albright has also turned her erudition and wealth of experience to authorship, having written a series of books since her retirement. Don't miss the chance to hear the enlightened politico talk about her latest best-seller 'Fascism: A Warning' at Santa Barbara's Granada Theater on the evening of January 22nd, 2019.
Informed by her childhood escape of a war ravaged Europe, as well as her distinguished career, her sixth book comes at a divisive time in US politics and draws upon history to offer answers for a better future. Acknowledging that the country's current leadership incites hatred and violence by worsening popular divisions and defiling democracy with cries of fake news and unfair play, Albright analyses the economic, cultural and technological factors deepening the distance between left and right throughout tumultuous periods in history. Relevant now more than ever, the must-read is a rallying cry of our times.
Audience members will also be given a chance to interact with Albright during a specially moderated Q&A session.
