In today's hightech and often-impersonal world, effective foreign relations still depend on the quality of the individual people involved. A remarkably perceptive observer and gifted writer, John Shaw introduces us to many of those people in this informative, highly readable collection of profiles. From Henry Kissinger and Richard Holbrooke to Kofi Annan and Tony Blair, this book provides us with valuable and sometimes surprising insights into both the professional careers and personal lives of those who shape the global landscape. By helping us to better understand the players, Shaw also helps us to better understand the important issues of the day.
