Summary:
At a time when the world is in turmoil and conflict, the veteran U.S. diplomat and negotiator Stuart E. Eizenstat makes the case for the importance of diplomacy to meet America’s greatest global challenges. He recounts the stories behind every major international agreement in the modern era, from the opening to China and the treaty to end the Vietnam War to the Iranian nuclear deal and the Abraham Accord, and he also analyzes the use and efficacy of military force as an instrument of diplomacy.
