War on Peace: The End of Diplomacy and the Decline of American Influence by Ronan Farrow

War on Peace: The End of Diplomacy and the Decline of American Influence by Ronan Farrow is a fascinating look at the role of diplomacy in America's dealings around the world. Farrow spares no one as he examines the successes and failures of diplomacy. He demonstrates how the erosion of diplomacy has coincided with the increase of militarization of negotiation. Farrow details the complicated internal negotiations and jurisdictional struggles that go on within the myriad branches of the United States government and explains how those struggles shape our reactions around the world in ways that often seem more detrimental to peace and more conducive to war than we'd like to believe. Farrow interviewed many people who have participated in diplomacy and presents their experiences and opinions amidst the facts and evidence to demonstrate the complexity of the role of diplomacy in the world we all share. In the process, he also demonstrates how that erosion of diplomacy affects the influence of America throughout the world. War on Peace pushes the reader to think about not only the role of diplomacy and the influence of militarization on diplomacy but of the role of the United States of America in the world.
