Madeleine Albright Calls for American Diplomacy

Madeleine Albright once called America the “indispensable nation” when it comes to leading global action. As the first female U.S. Secretary of State, Albright spent her career using American diplomacy to solve international crises. Walter Isaacson speaks with the former diplomat about the urgent need for a return to that model and her new book "Hell and Other Destinations: A 21st Century Memoir."
