About this listen

 A veteran of three Republican administrations and a nominee for the 2006 Nobel Peace Prize, John Bolton reveals how the U.S. can lead the way to a more realistic global security arrangement for the 21st century and identifies the next generation of threats to America.

With no-holds-barred candor, he recounts his appointment in 2005 as ambassador to the United Nations, his headline-making Senate confirmation battle, and his 16-month tenure at the U.N. Bolton offers keen insight into such international crises as North Korea's nuclear test, Iran's pursuit of nuclear weapons, and much more. Recounting both his successes and frustrations, he also exposes the operational inadequacies that hinder the U.N.'s effectiveness in international diplomacy and its bias against Israel and the United States. At home, he criticizes the pernicious bureaucratic inertia in the U.S. State Department that can undermine presidential policy.

A fascinating chronicle of the career of a distinguished lawyer and diplomat, Surrender Is Not An Option is sure to become a staple for everyone interested in international affairs.

An unvarnished insight into politics and international relations

John Bolton lifts the lid on what it’s like to deal with national security and international relations at the highest level. I enjoyed his dry wit and often scathing remarks about the weakness of the response to issues like nuclear proliferation, where governments seem to be willing to give the benefit of the doubt to rogue states like Iran and North Korea who lie at every turn and have shown themselves to be utterly duplicitous. He’s a good narrator, presenting the inner workings of officials and politicians in a “warts and all” way, with no holds barred.
