His previous books include " The Unwinding: An Inner History of the New America" (winner of the National Book Award), " The Assassins' Gate: America in Iraq ," and " Our Man: Richard Holbrooke and the End of the American Century" (winner of the Hitchens Prize and the Los Angeles Times Book Prize for biography). In the year 2020, Americans suffered one rude blow after another to their health, livelihoods, and collective self-esteem. A ruthless pandemic, an inept and malign government response, polarizing protests, and an election marred by conspiracy theories left many citizens in despair about their country and its democratic experiment. With pitiless precision, the year exposed the nation's underlying conditions—discredited elites, weakened institutions, blatant inequalities—and how difficult they are to remedy. In Last Best Hope , George Packer traces the shocks back to their sources.

​​​​​This podcast, an interview with George Packer conducted by Richard Wolinsky in 2013, is being posted nearly six months to the day after the Trump insurrection which could have caused the overthrow of the United States democratically elected government. While that didn't happen, the forces that brought about the capitol invasion haven't gone away. The refusal by the Republican Party to examine those forces, and the role Donald Trump played in the coup attempt, indicates we are not out of the woods. So how did we reach this point, putting aside Trump' s strange cult of personality? How far back do we have to go to find the turning points in the history of America In 2013, New Yorker staff writer George Packer's book, “The Unwinding: An Inner History of the New America,” closely examined the changes in American society and politics that led to the political turmoil of the Obama years and in a way predicted the outcomes we've seen since the book was published. “The Unwinding” went on to win the National Book Award for non-fiction. This interview with George Packer was conducted in the KPFA studios on June 4, 2013 while he was on tour for his book, The Unwinding. Since that time, his biography, “Our Man: Richard Holbrooke and the end of the American Century,” was a published in 2019 and was a Pulitzer Prize finalist. His latest book, “Last Best Hope: America in Crisis and Renewal” was published in June, 2021. An article delineating highlights from that book can be found in the July/August 2021 edition of The Atlantic. The post George Packer, “The Unwinding,” 2013 appeared first on KPFA.

SPEAKERS George Packer Staff Writer, The Atlantic; Author, Our Man: Richard Holbrooke and the End of the American Century In Conversation with Kori Schake Director of Foreign and Defense Policy Studies, American Enterprise Institute; Twitter @KoriSchake In response to the Coronavirus COVID-19 outbreak, this program took place and was recorded live via video conference, for an online audience only, and was live-streamed from The Commonwealth Club of California in San Francisco on June 9th, 2020.

George Packer is a staff writer for The Atlantic and a former staff writer for The New Yorker. He is the author, most recently, of Our Man: Richard Holbrooke and the End of the American Century. He has published five other works of non-fiction, including The Unwinding: An Inner History of the New America, which won the National Book Award for nonfiction in 2013, as well as two novels and a play. The late American diplomat Richard Holbrooke was brilliant, wholly self-absorbed, and possessed of almost inhuman energy and appetites. He embodied the postwar American impulse to take the lead on the global stage, and his story is the story of America during its era of supremacy: its strength, drive, and sense of possibility, as well as its penchant for overreach and heedless self-confidence. George will discuss his new biography Our Man, drawn from Holbrooke's diaries and papers–a non-fiction narrative that is both intimate and epic in its portrait of this extraordinary and deeply flawed man and the elite spheres of society and government he inhabited. Thomas is the author of Losing My Cool and Self-Portrait in Black and White. He is a contributing writer at the New York Times Magazine, a contributing editor at the American Scholar and a 2019 New America Fellow. His work has appeared in the New Yorker, the London Review of Books, Harper's and elsewhere, and has been collected in The Best American Essays and The Best American Travel Writing. He has received support from Yaddo, MacDowell and The American Academy in Berlin. He lives in Paris with his wife and children. Recorded 21 November 2019

A longtime staff writer for The New Yorker now writing for The Atlantic, George Packer has reported extensively on global unrest, from Bosnia, to the Iraq War, to the civil war in Syria. In his new book “Our Man: Richard Holbrooke and the End of the American Century,” Packer writes about one of America’s greatest diplomats. He compares Holbrooke’s larger than life character, utterly self-absorbed, in turns revered and reviled, to an era of enormous global influence. On May 23, 2019, George Packer came to the Sydney Goldstein Theater talked with Clara Jeffrey about Richard Holbrooke, the slow deterioration of American influence, and the country’s retreat into nationalism.

Longtime US diplomat Richard Holbrooke was many things: Ambassador to Germany, Assistant Secretary of State, the man who resolved the intractable war in Yugoslavia, and, to many… a womanizing, social-climbing jerk. While the storied career statesman saw “power the way an artist sees color,” as one former military leader put it in 2009—the year before Holbrooke died at 69—another former colleague described him as the “diplomatic equivalent of a hydrogen bomb,” leaving few survivors after being deployed. On this week's episode of the Mother Jones Podcast, Editor-in-Chief Clara Jeffery sits down with award-winning journalist George Packer from the Atlantic, whose new book, "Our Man: Richard Holbrooke and the End of the American Century," chronicles the life of this American foreign policy giant, whose career and trajectory extended from Vietnam to Afghanistan. His story is particularly timely, just as Trump's GOP pulls the country ever-further into isolationism and nativism, alienating allies and praising dictators. In a narrative that manages to toggle between being deeply learned and a beach-book page-turner Holbrooke is revealed as an undeniable icon of America's global influence, but also as a flawed operator who often let his ego get in the way amid bouts of “dick-swinging diplomacy.” This conversation was recorded in front of a live audience at City Arts and Lectures in San Francisco in May, and is featured here as part of the Mother Jones Podcast's summer series of fascinating conversations with journalists, artists, and activists about how their work interacts with some of the biggest debates of the day.

Award-winning writer George Packer on being backstage with Obama, U.S. diplomacy, and his new book, “Our Man: Richard Holbrooke and the End of the American Century,” about the controversial career and rocky life of the legendary diplomat.

Former US Assistant Secretary of State Richard Holbrooke was brilliant, utterly self-absorbed, and possessed of almost inhuman energy and appetites. From his days as a young adviser in Vietnam to his last efforts to end the war in Afghanistan, Holbrooke embodied the postwar American impulse to take the lead on the global stage. But his sharp elbows and tireless self-promotion ensured that he never received the promotion to the cabinet-level position he so desperately wanted. In this installment of “Leonard Lopate at Large” on WBAI, author George Packer discusses his latest book “Our Man: Richard Holbrooke and the End of the American Century” about this important figure in 20th century politics.
