The answer is unabashedly yes. This is a remarkable work about aremarkable, if deeply flawed, statesman whose career was intimately intertwined with the 50 years ofAmerican decline from Vietnam to Afghanistan.―—Jonathan Powell, The Spectator“[A] magisterialtome, a blend of biography and diplomatic history on par with Steve Collâ€s Ghost Wars or NeilSheehanâ€s A Bright Shining Lie… you really should read this book if youâ€re at all interested in thedecline of our countryâ€s elites or Americaâ€s role in the world over the past 50 years.― —FredKaplan, Slate  “Packer's energetic prose… carries the reader easily through the three main acts ofHolbrooke's diplomatic life… impeccably sourced.― —Paddy Hirsch, NPR“Mesmerizing… An elegynot just for Holbrooke but for the vision of American power he represented… Insightful and beautifullywritten…― —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 onthis earth to do it. The strength of the book is its focus on Holbrookeâ€s character, which Packer pursuesmuch as James Boswell pursued the human truth of Samuel Johnson. The point is not to analyzethings—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 hiscontradictions.' —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…'—MaxBoot, The Washington PostThis unconventional biography, written like a novel without notes or index, is ajoy to read. The book is a singular achievement, bringing alive the last decades when America countedcharacters such as Holbrooke in the halls of policy-making... Packer ma[kes] Holbrookeâ€s life ametaphor for brash, ambitious America.—Nayan Chanda, Global Asia'Captaivating... Packer is amasterful storyteller and wordsmith.'—Hussein Ibish, The World News'This book is a realaccomplishment; itâ€s hands down the best biography I have read this year... Deeply researched andreported... Brilliant, ambitious, arrogant and committed, Holbrooke, who died suddenly in 2010, is amesmerizing subject, and friends and enemies alike helped Packer craft this biography. Sure to win a prize(or two or three) in the 2019 literary-awards sweepstakes.'—Mary Ann Gwin, The Seattle
