Abstract:
"Losing Hearts and Minds? situates public diplomacy within the complex environment of U.S. government bureaucracy, and relates it to other instruments of national power, particularly diplomatic activities and military force. The book offers a comprehensive vision of this critical dimension of statecraft, prompting debate by analyzing obstacles to effective public diplomacy."--BOOK JACKET.
