Fareed Zakaria: “For the "Book of the Week," it's called "The Unquiet American." A compilation of essays by and on the late Richard Holbrooke. Holbrooke was a force of nature, ambitious, aggressive, but always determined to have an impact as he did when he made peace in Bosnia almost single-handedly. This mix of his writings and personal reminiscences, reflections by others adds up to a smart moving portrait of a fascinating, larger than life American diplomat who was working during what was certainly the American Century.”
