War on Peace

This book explores the decline of American diplomacy and how the military-industrial complex has overtaken peacemakers' work. The author, a former diplomat, provides a personal look into the last standard-bearers of traditional statecraft and interviews key figures such as Richard Holbrooke and Henry Kissinger. Farrow argues that diplomacy has declined due to political cowardice but provides hope that it may offer a way out of a world at war.
