[Andreas · Rating 3 out of 5]

A collection of academic literature, common wisdom and historical lessons. Diplomatic skills gives a good overview as to what skills and virtues a diplomat needs to thrive. Unfortunately it often gets lost in unnecessarily overcomplicated pompous language.

Overall a 2,9/5
