Richard Holbrooke was a leading actor in a historic period of unquestionable significance, marked by the rise and fall of power in the United States. In a vibrant account, George Packer brings to light the idealism and humanitarian purpose of the controversial diplomat confronted, paradoxically, with his stubbornness and egotism, and delves into the key role he played in the wars in Vietnam, Bosnia and Afghanistan, whose consequences resonate to this day. The work not only penetrates Holbrooke's secrets and personality, but allows the reader to make his way through the social and governmental spheres to which he belonged. An unprecedented foray into American diplomacy.
