Breaking the real axis of evil

the long version

"In Breaking the Real Axis of Evil, Ambassador Mark Palmer has the gumption to argue what diplomats and political leaders dare not speak: that global peace will not be achieved until democracies replace the world's remaining dictatorships. Drawing on more than twenty-five years of extensive diplomatic experience, Ambassador Palmer asks us to embrace a bold vision of a world made safe by democracy. This is the story of the last forty-five dictators, the strategies and tactics necessary to oust them, and the need to empower the people of every nation to control their own destinies."--Jacket.
