A Chilean diplomat's observations on the build up to the war in Iraq offer insights on the tightrope Latin American countries walk when presenting alternatives to global superpowers. Heraldo Muñoz's book, A Solitary War: A Diplomat's Chronicle of the Iraq War and Its Lessons, rejects the unilateralism of the Bush Administration's rush to war, its dismissal of the United Nations and consensus seeking diplomacy, and condemns Washington's ill-advised rush to war with Iraq.
