A harrowing exploration of the collapse of American diplomacy and the abdication of global leadership.
American diplomacy is under siege. Offices across the State Department sit empty while abroad, the military-industrial complex has assumed the work once undertaken by peacemakers. We're becoming a nation that shoots first and asks questions later.
In an astonishing account ranging from Washington, DC, to Afghanistan, Pakistan, and North Korea in the years since 9/11, acclaimed journalist and former diplomat Ronan Farrow illuminates one of the most consequential and poorly understood changes in American history. His firsthand experience in the State Department 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. Farrow's narrative is richly informed by interviews with whistle-blowers, policymakers, and a warlord, from Henry Kissinger to Hillary Clinton. Diplomacy, Farrow argues, has declined after decades of political cowardice, shortsightedness, and outright malice - but it may just offer America a way out of a world at war.

Farrow writes to all audiences, and the interviews offer something new about each party.
America has always been served by many tools in the “toolbox” with diplomacy ranking among the most effective. Farrow provides convincing evidence of why losing this capability only serves our enemies.

While we are occupied with our problems here at home in the US, one has to be reminded of the countries we interact with and understand that not every solution to conflict is war.
Picky listeners may not appreciate Ronan's voice, but I was engrossed throughout.

one of the best non-fiction writers of our time. This book was riveting - has the movie been optioned yet?? Because this title is certainly as interesting as any of Aaron Sorkin’s screenplays. String recommend.
So, so good. Must listen for history and current affair buffs
