Passeport diplomatique

After thirty-seven years in France’s most prestigious diplomatic posts, Gérard Araud looks back on the historical moment he witnessed and shaped, from Reagan to Trump. His memoirs read like a clear, erudite essay on the rise and fall of the ‘neo-liberal’ world, enlivened by a moralist’s gift for portraits, anecdotes and behind-the-scenes glimpses of how foreign policy is really made.
