History does not run in straight lines. It is made by men and women and by accident. The path of events and ideas does not stretch smoothly from Thucydides, through Machiavelli and thence to perpetual peace. Instead of inevitable progress, what we get is more often false starts, blind alleys, random events, good intentions that go wrong. This is therefore not a continuous diplomatic history. Richelieu and Mazarin inhabited a world we can hardly imagine today; but it is from their time that we can begin to see the outline of today's Europe. Talleyrand and the Congress of Vienna in 1815 take us closer to the present day. Talleyrand was a man of the ancient regime; but he was the first European statesman to see America. It is at this Congress that, for the first time, a humanitarian question - the slave trade - was discussed. Humanitarian issues have formed part of the diplomatic agenda ever since. Robert Cooper's incisive and elegantly written book includes a brilliant analysis of the people who built the Western side of the Cold War. The high point of the drama was the Cuban Missile Crisis, with its contrast between the open debate that John F. Kennedy used to help him make decisions and the closed system in Moscow. Henry Kissinger is a pivotal figure in the post-war world, as well as one of the great writers on diplomacy. His story is in some ways typical: he failed in his most important aims, and succeeded in ways he never expected. Meanwhile a notable and neglected success story is that of German diplomacy in the last half-century. Robert Cooper's masterly The Ambassadors pieces together history and considers the fragments it leaves behind. It is these fragments that prove so illuminating.

Elle est l'une des femmes les plus remarquables de notre temps et la première dans l'histoire des États-Unis à avoir exercé la fonction de secrétaire d'État. Intervention de l'OTAN au Kosovo, entrée de la Tchéquie, de la Pologne et de la Hongrie dans l'Alliance atlantique, pourparlers de paix au Proche-Orient, établissement de relations nouvelles avec la Chine et l'Afrique..., pendant huit ans, au cours des deux mandats de Bill Clinton, ses fonctions ont appelé Madeleine Allbright à faire face aux crises et aux conflits politiques les plus sensibles et déterminants pour l'ordre mondial. De son arrivée sur le sol américain en tant que réfugiée politique, fuyant avec sa famille la Tchécoslovaquie d'Hitler puis des communistes et des droits des femmes, Madeleine Albright fait revivre les grands acteurs de ce monde et les batailles d'une femme dans un monde dominé par les hommes. Les portraits de Bill et Hillary Clinton, Colin Powell, Václav Havel, Yasser Arafat, Vladimir Poutine, Ariel Sharon ou Kim Jong-il se mêlent à celui, méconnu, d'une femme ordinaire : une mère de trois enfants, séparée d'un des magnats de la presse, et pour qui la tardive découverte de ses origines juives fut une révélation capitale. Cette où les domaines privé et public, intime et international se rejoignent et se répondent, est passionnante de bout en bout. Derrière le parcours étonnant d'une "femme de pouvoir", c'est aussi un regard différent sur les enjeux politiques et économiques de la planète, que nous propose ce témoignage exceptionnel.
