About the Book

Who is Condoleezza Rice? Award-winning Newsweek editor Marcus Mabry explores the contradictions--personal and public--of one of the most influential, controversial, and fascinating women in the history of American politics. Before becoming the first female African-American secretary of state, Condoleezza Rice was the first woman to be named national security advisor to the president of the United States and, before that, the first woman, first minority, and youngest person to be named provost of Stanford University. Yet for all her ceiling-shattering accomplishments, Rice remains enigmatic. Mabry's penetrating, multilayered study of Rice is the most comprehensive portrait ever reported of this powerful woman. It was an editor's choice of The New York Times' Book Review.

About the Author :
MARCUS MABRY, now chief of correspondents at Newsweek, was formerly a State Department and foreign correspondent for the magazine and has written on foreign policy for more than a decade. He lives in New York.

Review :
"Twice As Good is a riveting, deeply revealing portrait of the woman who became 'the face of America' around the world--Condoleezza Rice, arguably one of the most powerful, complex and enigmatic black women of our times." --Charlayne Hunter-Gault "Mabry, who had Rice's cooperation here, succeeds in giving coherence to her character, from her roots in segregated Birmingham--where her middle-class parents were both inspired and mortified by Martin Luther King's radicalism to her broken engagement to the 1975 N.F.L. Rookie of the Year and her bond with George Bush." --The New Yorker "Mabry sets out to find the real Condi, to get behind her public façade and reveal her personality and he succeeds, thanks to candid interviews with her friends and relatives as well as present and past associates." --Salon.com "Deeply reported and vividly told, Mabry's new book offers us an indispensable window onto Condoleezza Rice, an American original whose story is far from over." --Jon Meacham, Managing Editor for Newsweek
