New Haven: Yale University Press, 1998. Second printing [stated]. Hardcover. [8], 191, [1] pages., Notes. Index. Signed with comment on the title page: Best wishes from Abba Eban. Has chapters on A Credentials Ceremony; September 15, 1950; The Cold War Remembered; Dilemmas of Diplomats; The Perils of Analogy; Human Rights Seldom Win; The Intrusive Media; Where--If Not at the Summit?; Still Too Many Wars; The United Nations: No New Order. Eban concludes with thoughts about the quest for peace in the Middle East. In this wise and eloquent book, one of the world's preeminent senior statesmen presents his views on the challenges of diplomacy in the post Cold War era. Abba Eban draws on his years of experience and knowledge to offer an overview of diplomacy as practices in today's world. Interweaving historical data with personal reminiscences, Eban reviews the Cold War period and its end in 1989, praising the diplomatic restraint in the years that have followed; discusses the ethical confrontation between power an conscience in a range of international decisions and actions; and points out the difficulty of reconciling the promotion of human rights with respect for national sovereignty. Eban goes on to deplore the lack of privacy in international negotiations that is the result of an intrusive media, and shows that nuclear warfare is not a restraint. Instructive, erudite, and witty, Eban's tour through diplomatic history vividly demonstrates that the wisdom of the past can be immensely valuable as we seek to negotiate and maintain peace in the future.
