In her new book, "Memo to the President Elect," Albright writes a series of typical "internal and administrative" memos to whomever becomes our new president. She shares her wealth of knowledge to educate the American public about the enormous responsibilities of the office and ease the path for the president-elect with the goal of outlining the challenges that lie ahead.
