War On Peace by Ronan Farrow
The End of Diplomacy and the Decline of American Influence
A trenchant investigation into the decline of American diplomacy that argues Washington has hollowed out its peacetime statecraft in favor of military solutions, secrecy, and donor-driven appointments. Drawing on reporting from embassies, war zones, and inside corridors of power, it traces how budget cuts, politicization, and the sidelining of trained diplomats after 9/11 have weakened the State Department’s ability to prevent and resolve conflicts from Iraq and Afghanistan to Libya and Syria. The account shows how reliance on force, private contractors, and high-profile political appointees, together with a shrinking public diplomacy capacity, has made U.S. foreign policy more brittle and costly, and issues a clear call to rebuild diplomatic institutions and expertise to avert further crises.
