Cursed is the Peacemaker: The American Diplomat versus the Israeli General, Beirut 1982, by John Boykin

"This is the first, the only, and certain-never-to-be-bettered study of Philip Habib, the most outrageously talented, beloved, and influential American diplomat since Benjamin Franklin. . . . John Boykin captures the wily, witty Phil Habib in marvelously fast-paced and beautifully crafted prose." —CHARLES HILL, Yale University, former Executive Secretary of the Department of State

"Emperor Dead" and Other Historic American Diplomatic Dispatches, compiled and edited by Peter D. Eicher

"By means of excerpted dispatches dating back to the American Revolution, 'Emperor Dead' depicts American representatives abroad noticing and calling attention to events, opportunities, and historical achievements about which people at home needed urgent knowledge. As Peter D. Eicher points out in his perceptive introduction, this reportage changed as telegraph lines and transoceanic cables speeded up communication, as proliferating news media made comprehensive reportage of events less necessary . . . and as matters of concern to Americans multiplied and broadened. Yet diplomatic reporting has remained vital [because of] its analysis, its perspective on events, and its important confidential information. Moreover, it provides a fascinating window on two centuries of world history. Of all this, Eicher's volume provides wonderful illustration." —From the Foreword by Ernest R. May, Charles Warren Professor of History, Harvard University

A Strategy for Stable Peace: Toward a Euroatlantic Security Community,
by James E. Goodby, Petrus Buwalda, and Dmitri Trenin

"The construction of a stable peace within this community of nations will not require the destruction of those special characteristics that have made them so distinct.

The United States and Pakistan 1947–2000: Disenchanted Allies,
by Dennis Kux

“In The United States and Pakistan, 1947–2000: Disenchanted Allies, Ambassador Kux has given us the companion volume to his earlier and unequaled history, India and the United States: Estranged Democracies, 1941–1991. Both are absorbing, at times wrenching, accounts of misunderstandings and miscalculations that bring us, at the end of the Cold War, to the unwelcome fact that the most dangerous nuclear standoff in the world is on the Indian subcontinent—with the United States looking on, aghast and helpless. Learn why.” —Senator Daniel Patrick Moynihan, senior scholar, Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars

Vietnam and Beyond: A Diplomat's Cold War Education,
by Robert Hopkins Miller

“Few events in American history have generated as much emotion, as much division, and as many long-term impacts for America and American society as our nation's involvement in Vietnam, Laos, and Cambodia in the latter half of the 20th century. . . .It seems appropriate that the first volume in [Texas Tech University Press's Modern Southeast Asia Series] should recount the journey of a diplomat whose working life with the U.S. Department of State essentially encompassed the entire Cold War. . . . [Vietnam was] Ambassador Miller's . . . central, defining experience.” —James R. Reckner, Director, Vietnam Center and Archive, Texas Tech University
