Not Quite the Diplomat - Home Truths about World Affairs by Chris Patten
Based on his experience as UK politician/government minister, last governor of Hong Kong and European Union commissioner for External Affairs, the author with much elegant use of lively metaphors 'tells how it was' and sets out his views on international affairs. Most interesting on how he sees the current state and role of America, and the future development of China. I was so enthusiastic about this book that I was tempted to re-read it straightaway.
