"This is one of the most important books of our time." Walter Isaacson 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. 538 $a MP3 discs can only be played on MP3 compatible sound systems. 610 10 $a United States. $b Department of State. 610 17 $a United States. $b Department of State. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01802976 650 0 $a Diplomacy. 651 0 $a United States $x Foreign relations $y 21st century. 651 0 $a United States $x Foreign relations administration. 650 7 $a Diplomacy. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00894188 650 7 $a Diplomatic relations. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01907412 650 7 $a International relations $x Administration. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01353398 651 7 $a United States. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204155 650 0 $a Audiobooks (MP3). 648 7 $a 2000-2099 $2 fast 655 7 $a Audiobooks. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Audiobooks. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01726208 941 $a 1 945 $a cdab 952 $l GDPF771 $d 20190126010847.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=1097316A213811E9BB5E173097128E48 994 $a C0 $b JIUInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
