Description
"David Newsom is a diplomat's diplomat, cool under fire, experienced, wise." --Marvin Kalb "This is a first-rate account of the role of diplomacy in the promotion of our national interest." --Edmund S. Muskie "... a splendid book... " --Choice "... it offers a point of view on foreign policy that is extremely valuable--that of the practitioner." --Perspective "The book should be required reading for every foreign official about to deal for the first time with the United States and for every American contemplating a diplomatic career." --Foreign Affairs "... thought-provoking... crisp, readable... rich with anecdotes... It is a gentle call worth heeding from a diplomat who knows the score." --The Christian Science Monitor "... highly readable... Newsom offers commonsense advice and fresh insights. This is a book that belongs on every Foreign Service-related reading list." --Foreign Service Journal "This is a lucid and a beautifully balanced book." --International Affairs This book examines how diplomacy has changed since World War II and what Americans seem to want from foreign policy.
