War on Peace

Ronan Farrow’s first book “doesn’t entirely hang together as an argument,” said Rosa Brooks in The Washington Post. But that’s OK. Farrow, whose reporting has made him a hero of the #MeToo movement, once served under diplomat Richard Holbrooke, and he’s put together an appreciation and defense of diplomacy that’s “full of telling anecdotes and wry, witty observations.” Farrow argues that the U.S. is turning away from diplomatic work at its own peril, and his passion is admirable.
