Diplomacy Lessons: Realism for an Unloved Superpower

Diplomacy Lessons is inspired by former foreign service officer John Brady Kiesling's conviction that disasters like Iraq are foreseeable and preventable. Ultimately stepping down from his post, Kiesling presents in this book a passionate critique of current U.S. foreign policy and his prescriptions for restoring American influence and legitimacy. At heart an argument for how to best achieve America's goals abroad, Diplomacy Lessons will interest anyone concerned about the future of U.S. and world affairs.
