This frustrating final post of Holbrooke s life, coupled with his failure to get the job he mostcoveted, secretary of state, may have been what prompted his friends to assemble anencomium in such fast order that it appears less than a year after he died. This tributeoffers essays by colleagues, protgs, several journalists , as well as his wife, Kati Marton, a former foreign correspondent.The reader is presented with mostly admiring anecdotes about Holbrooke s early days inVietnam as a questioning foreign-service officer, his rebellious tenure as Peace Corpsdirector in Morocco, and onwards and upwards as assistant secretary for East Asia and thePacific, peace negotiator for Bosnia and ambassador to the United Nations.
霍尔布鲁克先生人生中最后的工作让人提不起劲儿来,再加上他没始终能坐上自己最想要的职位,国务卿,或许是这些原因使得他的朋友们在他去世后不到一年的时间里就为他写好了颂词,这本颂词的文章作者有他生前的同事、受保护人、几名记者,还有他曾是一名外事通讯记者的妻子卡蒂马顿。读者将会看到霍尔布鲁克先生早年在越南发生的令人羡慕的奇闻异事,那时,他还是个喜欢刨根问底的驻外事务部官员;还将重温他作为美国和平队执行官在摩洛哥时的叛逆时光,作为东亚和太平洋地区事务助理秘书时平步青云的时代,以及作波斯尼亚和平谈判员和联合国大使时的经历。
