Former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice has agreed to a three-book deal with Crown Publishers worth about $2.5 million total in advances, per anonymous, in-the-know-insiders. According to a statement issued Sunday by Crown, a division of Random House Inc.:

 Rice will combine candid narrative and acute analysis to tell the story of her time in the White House and as America’s top diplomat, and her role in protecting American security and shaping foreign policy during the extraordinary period from 2001-2009.

Condi will also write a memoir about her family and a young adult of version of the same, telling of her

upbringing in the context of the extraordinary efforts made by her parents and other people in the community to raise children against a backdrop of fading Jim Crow laws and emergent civil rights initiatives.

Rice is supposedly the most likeable member of Bush’s administration.
