内容简介：
Condoleezza Rice has excelled as a diplomat, political
scientist, and concert pianist. Her achievements run the
gamut from helping to oversee the collapse of communism in Europe
and the decline of the Soviet Union, to working to protect the
country in the aftermath of 9-11, to becoming only the second woman
- and the first black woman ever -- to serve as Secretary of
State.
But until she was 25 she never learned to swim.
Not because she wouldn't have loved to, but because when she was
a little girl in Birmingham, Alabama, Commissioner of Public Safety
Bull Connor decided he'd rather shut down the city's pools than
give black citizens access.
Throughout the 1950's, Birmingham's black middle class largely
succeeded in insulating their children from the most corrosive
effects of racism, providing multiple support systems to ensure the
next generation would live better than the last. But by 1963,
when Rice was applying herself to her fourth grader's lessons, the
situation had grown intolerable. Birmingham was an
environment where blacks were expected to keep their head down and
do what they were told -- or face violent consequences. That spring
two bombs exploded in Rice’s neighborhood amid a series of chilling
Klu Klux Klan attacks. Months later, four young girls lost
their lives in a particularly vicious bombing.
So how was Rice able to achieve what she ultimately did?
Her father, John, a minister and educator, instilled a love of
sports and politics. Her mother, a teacher, developed
Condoleezza’s passion for piano and exposed her to the fine
arts. From both, Rice learned the value of faith in the face
of hardship and the importance of giving back to the
community. Her parents’ fierce unwillingness to set limits
propelled her to the venerable halls of Stanford University, where
she quickly rose through the ranks to become the university’s
second-in-command. An expert in Soviet and Eastern European
Affairs, she played a leading role in U.S. policy as the Iron
Curtain fell and the Soviet Union disintegrated. Less than a
decade later, at the apex of the hotly contested 2000 presidential
election, she received the exciting news – just shortly before her
father’s death – that she would go on to the White House as the
first female National Security Advisor.
As comfortable describing lighthearted family moments as she is
recalling the poignancy of her mother’s cancer battle and the heady
challenge of going toe-to-toe with Soviet leaders, Rice holds
nothing back in this remarkably candid telling. This is the story
of Condoleezza Rice that has never been told, not that of an
ultra-accomplished world leader, but of a little girl – and a young
woman -- trying to find her place in a sometimes hostile world and
of two exceptional parents, and an extended family and community,
that made all the difference.

原文赏析：
If you were twice as good as they were, "they" might not like you but "they" had to respect you. One could find space for a fulfilling and productive life. There was nothing worse than being a helpless victim of your circumstances.
Because I so wanted to emulate the older kids, my parents found it rather easy to discipline me. I can only remember being spanked once. That was when I ignored my parents' order not to climb up on a chair to get my Halloween costume from the top shelf of the closet. I almost fell, and my father had had enough. Usually, though, they only had to say something about being "disappointed" in me. I hated that phrase because I did not want to let them down. They could also say simply, "You're acting like a child." I hated that even more. Perhaps as an only child I was driven to be more like the adults with whom I spent so much time. I even refused to eat the "child's plate" at A. G. Gaston's, the only nice black restaurant in town. And when we went to the Presbyterian ministers' retreat in Tenne...
"I would rather be ignored than patronized," I said, pointing to the tendency of the Democratic Party to talk about "women, minorities, and the poor." I hated identity politics and the self-satisfied people who assumed that they were free of prejudice when, in fact, they too could not see beyond color to the individual.
President Bush called me to the Oval Office a few days before Gorbachev's arrival in Washington. "Stanford is your home," he said. "I want you to accompany Gorbachev to Palo Alto." As I sat on the South Lawn of the White House waiting with Gorbachev and his wife, Raisa, to take off in the presidential helicopter, Marine One, a thought crossed my mind: I'm awfully glad I changed my major.
When I got home, I called Daddy and gave him a thorough account of the day, including the lunch on the second floor of a miserably hot Polish American restaurant. I didn't tell him that the President had mispronounced the phrase "Polish people", calling them instead the "polish people" - as in furniture wax. At that slip, Brent hd turned to me and barked, "Did you forget to capitalize the P?" I was mortified and took responsibility, though in fact the P had been capitalized. It was my first experience with the maxim that I would later pass on to NSC staffers: "It's the President's triumph and the NSC staffer's fault."
This was terrible news. In the back of my mind I had always assumed that I would get married and have kids. I wanted to find that special man because I had been inspired by the wonderful example my parents had provided through their marriage. I was not at all concerned that marriage might hold me back professionally. Again, both my parents had managed careers and family life quite well. But as I told (and still tell) my friends, you don't get married in the abstract; you have to want to marry a particular person. And frankly I'd always hoped to marry within my race. If the right man does not come along, it is better to enjoy a fulling and happy life as a single person. But in 1986, at the age of thirty-one, the prospect of not even having the option to have kids was devastating.
