Description: "In Breaking the Real Axis of Evil, Ambassador Mark Palmer has the gumption to argue what diplomats and political leaders dare not speak: that global peace will not be achieved until democracies replace the world's remaining dictatorships.

Drawing on more than twenty-five years of extensive diplomatic experience, Ambassador Palmer asks us to embrace a bold vision of a world made safe by democracy. This is the story of the last forty-five dictators, the strategies and tactics necessary to oust them, and the need to empower the people of every nation to control their own destinies."--Jacket.
