“The Inheritance
reaffirms Thomas Jefferson’s belief that for the American democracy to
work there must be an informed citizenry. That means great reporting by
great reporters is always required. David Sanger’s book epitomizes the
requirement. He goes through the world of challenges and opportunities
that lie dead as well as ahead for the United States globally. Iraq,
Afghanistan, Pakistan, Iran, North Korea, and China are on the list. So
are matters nuclear and economic, among others. Sanger’s telling is full
of behind-the-door stories that read like Alan Furst spy novels. This
is a superior work of journalism.”—
