War on Peace: The End of Diplomacy and the Decline of American Influence (Thorndike Press Large Print Popular and Narrative Nonfiction)

The War on Peace is a thought-provoking and insightful exploration of the collapse of American diplomacy and the abdication of global leadership.

Through a gripping narrative that takes readers from Washington, DC to some of the most remote and dangerous places on earth, acclaimed investigative journalist Ronan Farrow sheds light on one of the most consequential changes in American history.

With personal experience as a former State Department official, Farrow provides a unique perspective on the last standard bearers of traditional statecraft, including Richard Holbrooke, who made peace in Bosnia and died while trying to do so in Afghanistan. The book draws on newly unearthed documents and richly informed interviews with warlords, whistle-blowers, and policymakers, including every living former secretary of state from Henry Kissinger to Hillary Clinton to Rex Tillerson.

Farrow argues that diplomacy 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. This book is a must-read for anyone interested in understanding the complexities of international relations and the importance of diplomacy in maintaining global peace and security.

With its compelling narrative and well-researched arguments, The War on Peace is sure to spark important conversations and debates about the future of American foreign policy.
