Please edit the title of this thread and add "[DONE]". Thank you.

The publication date and blurb are different (mine is listed as 10 Oct 19, whereas the existing one is 7 May 19). And, as you can see by following the link I gave, the cover art is different. I suspect that different audible editions are available in different countries.
Please, at minimum, add an edition with the cover art at the link. Ideally add one with the different publication date and blurb, so that the books on my self accurately reflect the details of the books I have in my audible account.
Thanks.

I have created an alternate cover edition with the date and the description you gave: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/7...

Our Man: Richard Holbrooke and the End of the American Century
George Packer

From one of America’s greatest nonfiction writers, an epic saga of the rise and fall of American power, from Vietnam to Afghanistan, told through the life of one man.
Richard Holbrooke was one of the most legendary and complicated figures in recent American history. Brilliant, utterly self-absorbed and possessed of almost inhuman energy and appetites, he was both admired and detested. From his days as a young adviser in Vietnam to his last efforts to end the war in Afghanistan, Holbrooke embodied the postwar American impulse to take the lead on the global stage. He was the force behind the Dayton Accords that ended the Balkan wars, America's greatest diplomatic achievement in the post-Cold War era. His power lay in an utter belief in himself and his idea of a muscular, generous foreign policy. But his sharp elbows and tireless self-promotion ensured that he never rose to the highest levels in government that he so desperately coveted.
Holbrooke’s story is the story of the rise and fall of America during its era of supremacy: its strength, drive and sense of possibility as well as its penchant for overreach and heedless self-confidence. Drawing on Holbrooke’s diaries and papers, George Packer’s narrative is both intimate and epic in its revelatory portrait of this extraordinary and deeply flawed man and the elite spheres of society and government he inhabited.
