Statecraft and Stagecraft:Interviews with Kissinger, Schultz and Powell

Statecraft and Stagecraft

While I don't think Colin Powell, who was a failure as Secretary of State, belongs in this august group of statemen, this is an interesting set of interviews with men who know something about statecraft. It reinforces the observation du jour in Washington -- that the Bush administration is tone deaf to the skill of statecraft. As mentioned on this blog yesterday, please read Dennis Ross' veritable textbook on the subject, to come out soon, Statecraft: And How to Restore America's Standing in the World.
