Review

In The Art of Diplomacy, Stuart Eizenstat addresses the central challenge of our age. Gone are the halcyon days of American hegemony; instead, we face the crises of great-power competition, profound economic and technological transformation, and climate change, to mention a few. To survive, the United States must negotiate, not dictate its place in the world. Drawing on his own experiences and those of contemporary American statesmen, Eizenstat shows us a sensible path forward. If we martial our resources and learn from the lessons of our experience, we can help shape a future not wrought from violence and confrontation but from wisdom and diplomacy.--Frank G. Wisner, United States Ambassador to India (1994-1997), Philippines (1991-1992), Egypt (1986-1991), Zambia (1979-1982). Under Secretary of Defense for Policy (1995-1999); Under Secretary of State for International Security Affairs (1992-1993)It is difficult to think of a person better qualified to write a book on international negotiations than Stuart (Stu) Eizenstat, President Jimmy Carter's chief domestic policy adviser.... The Art of Diplomacy describes in fascinating detail the major negotiations in recent years in which the US has acted either as negotiator or mediator.... This excellent book on international negotiations and American foreign policy will no doubt be a necessary addition to every public and private library.-- "Israel Journal of Foreign Affairs"Stuart Eizenstat's The Art of Diplomacy covers 50 years of how American diplomats helped remake the world, sharing the secrets behind successes and stumbles that remade the world. Essential reading about the art of making the impossible possible.-- "The Cipher Brief"When Eizenstat is in his element, his network extends well over a topic, and the content is well moderated, the results are stunning. This accounts for most of the book's 12 chapters, which cover everything from Kissinger to the Kyoto climate negotiations.... The Art of Diplomacy will assuredly be a fun yet distinctly informative read for anyone interested in U.S. diplomatic history or even foreign policy more generally. As a guide for future diplomats, The Art of Diplomacy also accomplishes its mission.-- "Washington Examiner"
