A book for anyone interested to know more about how the world
really works by Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Ronan Farrow.
'This is one of the most important books of our time.' Walter
Isaacson 'A masterpiece' Dan Simpson, Post-Gazette THE NEW YORK
TIMES #3 BESTSELLER US foreign policy is undergoing a dire
transformation, forever changing America's place in the world.
Institutions of diplomacy and development are bleeding out after
deep budget cuts; the diplomats who make America's deals and
protect democratic interests around the world are walking out in
droves. Offices across the State Department sit empty, while abroad
the military-industrial complex has assumed the work once
undertaken by peacemakers. Increasingly, America is a nation that
shoots first and asks questions later. In an astonishing journey
from the corridors of power in Washington, DC, to some of the most
remote and dangerous places on earth - Afghanistan, Somalia, and
North Korea among them acclaimed investigative journalist Ronan
Farrow illuminates one of the most consequential and poorly
understood changes in American history. His first-hand experience
as a former State Department official affords a personal look at
some of the last standard bearers of traditional statecraft,
including Richard Holbrooke, who made peace in Bosnia and died
while trying to do so in Afghanistan. Drawing on newly unearthed
documents, and richly informed by rare interviews with warlords,
whistle-blowers, and policymakers - including every living
secretary of state from Henry Kissinger to Hillary Clinton to Rex
Tillerson - War on Peace makes a powerful case for an endangered
profession. Diplomacy, Farrow argues, has declined after decades of
political cowardice, short-sightedness, and outright malice - but
it may just offer a way out of a world at war.
