WAR ON PEACE - RONAN FARROW GEBUNDEN

US foreign policy is undergoing a dire transformation  forever changing America?s place in the
world. Institutions of diplomacy and development are bleeding out after deep budget cuts  the
diplomats who make America?s deals and protect its citizens around the world are walking out in
droves. Offices across the State Department sit empty  while abroad the military-industrial
complex has assumed the work once undertaken by peacemakers. We?re becoming a nation that
shoots first and asks questions later. In an astonishing journey from the corridors of power in
Washington  DC  to some of the most remote and dangerous places on earth - Afghanistan  Somalia
and North Korea among them -acclaimed investigative journalist Ronan Farrow illuminates one of
the most consequential and poorly understood changes in American history. His firsthand
experience as a former State Department official affords a personal look at some of the last
standard bearers of traditional statecraft  including Richard Holbrooke  who made peace in
Bosnia and died while trying to do so in Afghanistan.Drawing on newly unearthed documents  and
richly informed by rare interviews with warlords  whistle-blowers  and policymakers - including
every living former secretary of state from Henry Kissinger to Hillary Clinton to Rex Tillerson
- War on Peace makes a powerful case for an endangered profession. Diplomacy  Farrow argues 
has declined after decades of political cowardice  shortsightedness  and outright malice - but
it may just offer America a way out of a world at war.
