Diplomacy

By: Henry Kissinger

Narrated by: Paul Woodson

A brilliant, sweeping history of diplomacy that includes personal stories from the noted former Secretary of State, including his stunning reopening of relations with China.

The seminal work on foreign policy and the art of diplomacy...

Moving from a sweeping overview of history to blow-by-blow accounts of his negotiations with world leaders, Henry Kissinger describes how the art of diplomacy has created the world in which we live, and how America's approach to foreign affairs has always differed vastly from that of other nations.

Brilliant, controversial, and profoundly incisive, Diplomacy stands as the culmination of a lifetime of diplomatic service and scholarship. It is a must-listen for anyone concerned with the forces that have shaped our world today and will impact upon it tomorrow.

Tour de force

Illuminating history of diplomacy in the past few centuries. Remarkably thorough and well researched. There are opinions embedded, but they are kept largely at bay in favor of a mostly objective assessment.

Excellent. The standard.

If this isn’t the basic textbook for every diplomacy class in the world, it should be. This was much better than my diplomacy class at the University of Houston. I want my money back from them.

very smart man.

dense, but enjoyed it. if only we spent more time focusing on where we came from

eye opening

I wish I wasn't being taken off this app, it shed light on my way of thinking

Great foreign policy overview!

I really liked the structure of the book, how the author presents the diplomatic concepts using historical overview.

A must-read for everyone interested in making sense of what’s going on in the world.
