A compelling portrayal of the challenges of life in the American Foreign Service.
Reviews
"Alive with the intense sights and sounds of the Middle East, and with the culture of deception and betrayal in which America is now a full partner."
David Ignatius, The Washington Post
"Sardonic insights and a lovely pen."
Fred Emery, The Times, London
"An unorthodox view of life in the Foreign Service. This is not a striped-pants world. Instead, these amusing anecdotes illuminate a grittier side of embassy life with a wry sense of humor and a bit of an edge."
Gary Sick, National Security Advisor for Presidents Ford, Carter, and Reagan
