Lippman draws on his extensive experience as a journalist and political analyst to provide insightful analysis and commentary on these issues.Throughout the book, Lippman emphasizes the need for diplomacy to be based on a strong understanding of history, culture, and politics. He argues that effective diplomacy requires a deep understanding of the motivations and interests of other nations, as well as a willingness to compromise and find common ground.Overall, The Stakes of Diplomacy is a thought-provoking and insightful book that provides a compelling argument for the importance of diplomacy in the modern world. It is a must-read for anyone interested in international relations, politics, or diplomacy.1915. Lippman, a Pulitzer Prize winning political columnist, helped found the liberal New Republic magazine.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

In President Wilson scircular note of December 18, 1916, he used one sentence which brought forth a storm of anger from the people of the Allied nations. The unhappy passage said that: He takes the Uberty of calling attention to the fact that the objects which the statesmen of the belligerents on both sides have in mind in this war are virtually the same, as stated in general terms to their own people and to the world. On second thought it was obvious enough that what the President meant to write was something like this: When the statesmen on both sides state in general terms to their own people and to the world what they have in mind they use virtually the same words. The biting truth of the passage is evident enough. It says not that the German Emperor and the King of the Belgians have the same objects in mind, but that every statesman, angel or devil if you like, is quoting the same scripture.
