Book Reviews of The Politics of Diplomacy
Book Review: Value of Media over Spies for Diplomats
Summary: 5 Stars
The book is great, but this one line is worth its weight in gold for those who wonder why we spend $30 billion a yeear on diplomacy, $900 billion a year waging war, $60 billion a year on spies, and less than $600 million on open sources of information in 183 languages we don't speak:
"in terms of fine-turning our own work, staying abreast of the press comments was particularly important."
page 54.
