Description
“It is impossible to read George Packerâ€s new biography of Richard Holbrooke without a
piercing sense of melancholy, not only that a man so supremely alive should be dead, but also
because such people—Our Man, in Packerâ€s title, the incarnation of vanished glory, imperial
hubris, exceptional Americanism—no longer walk the earth… Extraordinary.―—James
Traub, Foreign Policy “You may ask yourself, is it worth one of the best American nonfiction
writers producing a book of just under 600 pages on an arrogant and abrasive egotist
whose highest sustained rank in the State Department was that of a lowly assistant secretary? The
answer is unabashedly yes. This is a remarkable work about a remarkable, if deeply flawed,
statesman whose career was intimately intertwined with the 50 years of American decline from
Vietnam to Afghanistan.―—Jonathan Powell, The Spectator“[A] magisterial tome, a blend
of biography and diplomatic history on par with Steve Collâ€s Ghost Wars or Neil
Sheehanâ€s A Bright Shining Lie… you really should read this book if youâ€re at all
interested in the decline of our countryâ€s elites or Americaâ€s role in the world over the past
50 years.― —Fred Kaplan, Slate  “Packer's energetic prose… carries the reader easily
through the three main acts of Holbrooke's diplomatic life… impeccably sourced.― —Paddy
Hirsch, NPR“Mesmerizing… An elegy not just for Holbrooke but for the vision of American
power he represented… Insightful and beautifully written…― —Barbara Spindel, The Christian
Science Monitor'No book could achieve the intensity, completeness, and narrative depth of Our
Man without the authorâ€s belief that he had been put on this earth to do it. The strength of the
book is its focus on Holbrookeâ€s character, which Packer pursues much as James Boswell
pursued the human truth of Samuel Johnson. The point is not to analyze things—why Yugoslavia
flew to pieces, or what Johnson did for the English language with his dictionary. The point is to
winkle out and bring to light the whole truth of the man: what he was like in all his contradictions.'Â
—Thomas Powers, The New York Review of Books “Our Man is a great, exuberant
read, gossipy and thoughtful.―—Roger Boyes, The Times'[S]prawling, mesmerizing…'—Max
Boot, The Washington PostThis unconventional biography, written like a novel without notes or
index, is a joy to read. The book is a singular achievement, bringing alive the last decades when
America counted characters such as Holbrooke in the halls of policy-making... Packer ma[kes]
Holbrookeâ€s life a metaphor for brash, ambitious America.—Nayan Chanda, Global
Asia'Captaivating... Packer is a masterful storyteller and wordsmith.'—Hussein Ibish, The
World News'This book is a real accomplishment; itâ€s hands down the best biography I have
read this year... Deeply researched and reported... Brilliant, ambitious, arrogant and committed,

Holbrooke, who died suddenly in 2010, is a mesmerizing subject, and friends and enemies alike
helped Packer craft t
