"The Dissent Papers is an outstanding account of dissent in the State Department since the Second World War. I know of no other work that treats the issue in this synoptic manner. The volume’s later chapters present new material in a particularly subtle and provocative way. The book is fresh, unique, and stimulating." — Frank Ninkovich, St. John's University, author of Global Dawn: The Cultural Foundation of American Imperialism, 1865–1890
"Hannah Gurman’s approach and evidence are fresh and original. She brings disparate yet connected stories together to show how diplomats used the primary tool given to them: language." — Elizabeth Cobbs Hoffman, San Diego State University, author of Broken Promises: A Novel of the Civil War
