A behind the scenes look at 50 years of US diplomacy. From Vietnam
in the 1960s to the Afghanistan of this decade, James Dobbins was
on the frontline of American diplomacy and working to advance U.S.
national interests in some of the world's most difficult and
troubled situations. In Foreign Service, Dobbins takes the reader
behind the scenes at the Vietnam peace talks, the darkest dates of
the Cold War, the reunification of Germany, the collapse of the
Soviet Union and the U.S. military interventions in Afghanistan,
Bosnia, Haiti, Kosovo, and Somalia. He provides a thoughtful
insider's account of all these ventures, analyzes the sources of
both success and failure, and provides incisive portraits of many
of the chief actors. Presidents Clinton, Bush, and Obama turned
repeatedly to Dobbins as a diplomatic trouble-shooter with the
right instincts and experience to help find creative solutions for
seemingly irresolvable problems. Now readers can benefit from his
insights, learning that, while specific situations in world affairs
are different, the basic principles and techniques for defending
U.S. interests on the global stage remain constant.
