Review # 1 was written on 2011-12-23 00:00:00 Al Wier I am interested in the foreign service and the author recounted the highlights of his time in the service. He mentioned how he got his start and the places in which he lived. It has been about a year since I've read it, so no particular story stands out, but I do recall having enjoyed the book when I was reading it.

Review # 2 was written on 2013-08-22 00:00:00 Darrin Wagner Each chapter focuses on a diplomatic episode in the author's 1940s-1970s foreign service life. Provides a good sense of what the service was like in those days.
