"        One of the most important and readable diplomatic memoirs of recent times. . . . His account should restore some respect to the much maligned art of diplomacy." --The Washington Post "        Richard Holbrooke does for diplomacy what Indiana Jones does for archaeology . . . a cliffhanger."        --USA Today "        Holbrooke is brilliant, forceful, determined, focused. . . .

To End a War is a riveting book."        --Time "        A superb book, one that is clear and honest."        --Newsweek "        A heartfelt call to America to use its power when societies break down. . . .
