*Finalist for the Pulitzer Prize for Biography**Winner of the Los Angeles Times Prize for Biography**Winner of the 2019 Hitchens Prize*"Portrays Holbrooke in all of his endearing and exasperating self-willed glory...Both a sweeping diplomatic history and a Shakespearean tragicomedy... If you could read one book to comprehend American's foreign policy and its quixotic forays into quicksands over the past 50 years, this would be it."--Walter Isaacson, The New York Times Book Review"By the end of the second page, maybe the third, you will be hooked...There never was a diplomat-activist quite like [Holbrooke], and there seldom has been a book quite like this -- sweeping and sentimental, beguiling and brutal, catty and critical, much like the man himself."--David M. Shribman, The Boston GlobeRichard Holbrooke was brilliant, utterly self-absorbed, and possessed of almost inhuman energy and appetites. Admired and detested, he was the force behind the Dayton Accords that ended the Balkan wars, America's greatest diplomatic achievement in the post-Cold War era. His power lay in an utter belief in himself and his idea of a muscular, generous foreign policy. From his days as a young adviser in Vietnam to his last efforts to end the war in Afghanistan, Holbrooke embodied the postwar American impulse to take the lead on the global stage. But his sharp elbows and tireless self-promotion ensured that he never rose to the highest levels in government that he so desperately coveted. His story is thus the story of America during its era of supremacy: its strength, drive, and sense of possibility, as well as its penchant for overreach and heedless self-confidence. In Our Man, drawn from Holbrooke's diaries and papers, we are given a nonfiction narrative that is both intimate and epic in its revelatory portrait of this extraordinary and deeply flawed man and the elite spheres of society and government he inhabited.

PDF Our Man: Richard Holbrooke and the End of the American Century with Free EASY Reading!

My name is Richard Miles and I will confess to being annoyed. The author, for some inexplicable reason, glosses over Dick Holbrooke's year long struggle with Serbian leader Milosevic over the deepening crisis in Kosovo 1998-99. I was there as the Chief of Mission in Belgrade 1996-1999 and perhaps a part of my annoyance is as much because I was never interviewed by the author nor was the hard-working Embassy in Belgrade ever mentioned as by the fact that he has omitted a rather significant part of Holbrooke's life and work during a not unimportant part of world history.Certainly the biography rings almost unpleasantly true and we really have too much information about this strange and perplexing man, but the author's collection of and publication of the details of Holbrooke's professional and personal life represent an absolutely intriguing window into not just the personality of Richard Holbrooke but also the equally personal and complex world of Washington's foreign policy apparatus
