A keeper, 2006-02-16
This is a first rate reference book and a good read to boot. It serves easily as the footnotes to Ambassador Freeman's other book, Arts of Power, and ranks up there with Bierce's Devil's Dictionary. I highly recommend it.

Nice quotes, but not a vital reference, 2001-07-13
Although there are some very clever and interesting quotes listed in Mr. Freeman's book, I wouldn't characterize it as a "must-have" for students, diplomats, or politicians. Better alphabetical quote books are to be had on the market. The index, for once, is actually helpful, and there is even a section of the book that tells you (albeit too briefly) about the people who are quoted. I respect Mr. Freeman and his experience in the diplomatic corps; I just wish he would have contributed more anecdotes and examples from that experience.
