War on Peace: The End of Diplomacy and the Decline of American Influence by Ronan Farrow

DNF. The book delivered by Farrow does not match the book described on the jacket. I was looking for a strong nonfiction book about the militarization of diplomacy and instead essentially got a biography of Ronan Farrow and Richard Holbrooke. It’s well written and seemingly well researched, but I wasn’t interested in reading biographical nonfiction and wish the book was accurately described in its promo materials. The promise of interviews with every Sec of State was intriguing, but I don’t feel they were utilized well by the author.
