Reviews and Recommendations
We've comprehensively compiled reviews of Diplomacy from the world's leading experts.
Bogdan Savonea Kissinger's "Diplomacy", Huntington's "Clash of Civilizations" and Machiavelli's "The Prince". They pretty much shaped the first part of my life, defined my University choice and career path up until my late 20s. (Source)
Jeremy Greenstock The importance of Kissinger’s book is that it is fundamentally about power. It’s amazing how seldom people – newspapers, blogs, speeches – talk about power, but power is the raw thing at the heart of every political unit. Kissinger is a great figure of 20th-century diplomacy and therefore it is about his experience; you’re looking at diplomacy through the eyes of a great exponent of the diplomatic art. (Source)
Jonathan Powell Kissinger said that the original American idealism was a mistake. He remains the grand old man of foreign policy. (Source)
