1:04:12Now PlayingSusan Rice discusses her book, "Tough Love", with Madeleine Albright at a Politics and Prose event in Washington, DC on 10/11/19.
A Washington native, Rice, now Distinguished Visiting Research Fellow at the School of International Service at American University, grew up in a family descended from immigrants on one side, slaves on the other. In her honest and illuminating memoir, she reflects on how this heritage shaped her life, as well as looking back over some thirty years of her distinguished foreign policy career. Recounting her experiences as Clinton’s Assistant Secretary of State for African Affairs and her tenures as U.S. Ambassador to the U.N. and national security advisor under Obama, Rice illuminates details of events including the Rwanda genocide, the Ebola epidemic, opening diplomatic relations with Cuba, the war against ISIS, and the Snowden leaks.
Rice is in conversation with Madeleine Albright, American politician, diplomat, and the first female United States Secretary of State in U.S. history.
Ambassador Susan E. Rice is currently Distinguished Visiting Research Fellow at the School of International Service at American University, a Non-Resident Senior Fellow at the Belfer Center for Science and International Affairs at Harvard’s Kennedy School of Government, and a contributing opinion writer for The New York Times. She serves on the boards of Netflix and the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts and previously served on several nonprofit boards, including the U.S. Fund for UNICEF.
Rice earned her master’s degree and doctorate in international relations from Oxford University, where she was a Rhodes Scholar, and her bachelor’s degree from Stanford University. A native of Washington, D.C. and a graduate of the National Cathedral School for Girls, she is married to Ian Cameron; they have two children. Rice is an avid tennis player and a long-retired basketball player.
