'''Samuel R. "Sandy" Berger''' (born 1945) is a liberal foreign policy expert who served as Deputy National Security Advisor (1993–96) and National Security Advisor to President [[Bill Clinton]] from 1997 to 2001. The most influential National Security Advisor since [[Henry Kissinger]], Berger was more of a pragmatic political advisor and was not a strategic thinker with a grand vision. Critics said he let polls drive foreign policy, and indeed Clinton did receive good press. Berger worked well with Secretary of State [[Madeleine Albright]] and Defense Secretary [[William Cohen]]—they formed the "ABC group" and shaped major policy issues. He was a foreign policy advisor to the [[Hillary Clinton]] campaign in 2008, but received no position when she became Secretary of State.  He now is an advisor to businesses involved in international trade.

Berger's father operated a small business but died when the boy was eight, so he put himself through college, taking a BA from Cornell in 1967 and a law degree from Harvard in 1971.
