War on Peace is not an indictment of any particular president’s administration but rather an analysis of a general trend in U.S. As Farrow points out in his introduction, diplomats-who frequently suffer under strife and hardship-do not generally receive a parade when they return home from war. In seeing the sacrifices of foreign service officers and the little attention that many of the “best and brightest” receive upon completing their missions, it is hard not to feel compassion for those who continue to strive for the goals of U.S. He also examines the professional careers of scores of diplomats to present the continued decline and future challenges facing the U.S. foreign policy with interviews from leading military personnel and every living secretary of state, as well as personal narratives from his own time working in the office of the Special Representative for Afghanistan-Pakistan under Richard Holbrooke. Long live the Pentagon” would serve as an equally fitting subtitle for Ronan Farrow’s War on Peace: The End of Diplomacy and the Decline of American Influence.įarrow applies his journalistic skill in this masterful treatment of U.S.
