Overview

Una angustiante exploración del colapso de la diplomacia norteamericana y la abdicación del liderazgo global. Por el ganador de un Premio Pulitzer y autor del best seller mundial Depredadores. La política exterior de Estados Unidos está sufriendo una terrible transformación, cambiando su lugar en el mundo. Las instituciones diplomáticas y su desarrollo se desangran tras varios recortes presupuestarios: los diplomáticos que negocian los grandes tratados y protegen a sus ciudadanos están abandonando en masa esa labor. Las oficinas del Departamento de Estado están vacías, mientras en el extranjero el tejido militar industrial ha asumido el trabajo una vez que ha sido adoptado por los conciliadores de la paz. Estados Unidos se ha convertido en una nación que primero dispara y luego se cuestiona las cosas. En un asombroso viaje desde los pasillos del poder en Washington, hasta algunos de los sitios más remotos y peligrosos del planeta (Afganistán, Somalia y Corea del Norte entre ellos), el aclamado periodista de investigación Ronan Farrow nos explica algunos de los cambios más trascendentales y menos comprendidos en la historia de Estados Unidos. A través de cientos de documentos inéditos y extensamente informado en cientos de entrevistas con jefes militares, denunciantes anónimos y políticos, incluyendo a todos los ex secretarios de Estado que aún viven, desde Henry Kissinger hasta Hillary Clinton, Guerra por la paz es un libro necesario y riguroso para comprender el papel de la diplomacia en un mundo en guerra. «Farrow lo borda, tanto en la experiencia dentro del gobierno, como en un reportaje de investigación fresco y brillante, para ofrecernos un retrato de lo lamentables que son los diplomáticos norteamericanos.» Daniel Kurtz-Phelan, The New York Times «Con la brillantez de un periodista de investigación y una prosa extraordinaria, Ronan Farrow nos destripa la poderosa historia de la diplomacia norteamericana. Este es uno de los libros más importantes de nuestro tiempo.» Walter Isaacson, autor de Steve Jobs ENGLISH DESCRIPTION A New York Times, Wall Street Journal, Los Angeles Times, and IndieBound bestseller Finalist for the Colby Award A new, revised and updated edition of a modern classic of foreign policy, a harrowing exploration of the collapse of American diplomacy and the abdication of global leadership, by the winner of the 2018 Pulitzer Prize in Public Service. US foreign policy is undergoing a dire transformation, forever changing America’s place in the world. Institutions of diplomacy and development are bleeding out after deep budget cuts; the diplomats who make America’s deals and protect its citizens around the world are walking out in droves. Offices across the State Department sit empty, while abroad the military-industrial complex has assumed the work once undertaken by peacemakers. We’re becoming a nation that shoots first and asks questions later. In an astonishing journey from the corridors of power in Washington, DC, to some of the most remote and dangerous places on earth―Afghanistan, Somalia, and North Korea among them―acclaimed investigative journalist Ronan Farrow illuminates one of the most consequential and poorly understood changes in American history. His firsthand experience as a former State Department official affords a personal look at some of the last standard bearers of traditional statecraft, including Richard Holbrooke, who made peace in Bosnia and died while trying to do so in Afghanistan. Drawing on recently unearthed documents, and richly informed by rare interviews with whistle-blowers, a warlord, and policymakers―including every living former secretary of state from Henry Kissinger to Hillary Clinton to Rex Tillerson―and now updated with revealing firsthand accounts from inside Donald Trump’s confrontations with diplomats during his impeachment and candid testimonials from officials in Joe Biden’s inner circle, War on Peace makes a powerful case for an endangered profession. Diplomacy, Farrow argues, has declined after decades of political cowardice, shortsightedness, and outright malice―but it may just offer America a way out of a world at war.
