I dub thee my favourite book of 2018 (maybe) even though you only got finished now.

Farrow is funny, witty, and has great sources. Yes, he appears to be unobjectively hard on Obama, but he makes his point well (I believe).

A really really interesting and well written read for anyone interested in finding out more about US diplomacy presnet and past.

This made me think about U.S. foreign policy in a new way and helped me ask new questions.

Excellent book on the decline of diplomacy and the case to restore diplomacy. Farrow is engaging and a masterful storyteller. I was engaged from the jump. Highly recommend if at all interested in foreign policy.

Ronan Farrow skillfully and concisely details the fall of civilian diplomacy over the past 25 years. With as little bias as possible he tells how U.S. diplomacy has been replaced by military expertise. He warns and shows the consequences of such action over the past decade plus. A must read for anyone with an interest in foreign policy and diplomacy.

“America has changed whom it brings to the table, and, by extension, it has changed who sits at the other side.”

Farrow’s work is so impressive, as he highlights the changing landscape of US foreign policy and its very real and dangerous consequences, both today and in the future.
