Introducing David Rothkopf’s “Running the World,” hailed as “invaluable” and “the definitive history of the NSC.”

If you are looking for just one book that will take you into the inner-sanctums of American foreign policy – past, present, and even the future – this is the one. Deeply researched, extraordinarily well written, and filled with colorful anecdotes and the kind of insider information that comes only with extensive interviewing, David Rothkopf’s book is both an essential read and a highly entertaining one. Once you are done, you’ll never look at America’s foreign policy – or its role in the world -- quite the same way as you did before.”  --Jeffrey E. Garten, Dean, Yale School of Management, former official in four U.S. presidential administrations
