Anyone interested in understanding our diplomacy, what makes it tick, and how it strives to serve the public interest should read this masterful history.

• Every baby born
  unloved, unwanted, is a bill that will come
  due in twenty years with interest, an anger
  that must find a target, a pain that will
  beget pain. A decade downstream a child
  screams, a woman falls, a synagogue is torched,
  a firing squad is summoned, a button
  is pushed and the world burns.
