Review of Strobe Talbott Diplomacy In The Post Cold War Era

If you are a political junkie then this is your fix in its purest form. Little production, just talk from one of America's more lucid insiders. Through his career Strobe Talbott has rubbed shoulders with key political players and is able to offer a fascinating analysis of important events and personalities from the post cold war era. If you are seeking to understand current U.S. foreign policy, give this a listen. It's alarming, enlightening and fascinating radio. It's also a reminder of how entertaining it is to hear a good speaker...speak, without any production bells and whistles.
