My Take
Christopher R. Hill represents the unglamorous backbone of statecraft that I find quietly heroic. Career diplomats rarely trend, yet they hold the threads that keep nations talking, and Hill spent decades in the hardest rooms, from Balkan negotiations to ambassadorships and the classroom at Denver and Columbia. His honorary New Zealand recognition hints at the trust he earned across borders. I am drawn to figures who do consequential work without seeking applause, and Hill fits that mold. In an era loud with self-promotion, a life of patient, professional persuasion strikes me as deeply underrated and worth remembering.
