praise for career diplomacy
The best description of life the foreign service — its challenges, dangers, satisfactions, and fun--I have ever seen. It paints a superb picture of life abroad and at home, including both its good and bad aspects, and does a brilliant job of pointing out how our diplomacy must change if it is to meet the tremendous changes and challenges of the twenty-first century.
— Hon. Lawrence S. Eagleburger, former Secretary of State
A gem, a one-stop shop for citizens, US officials, foreign diplomats, and prospective American Foreign Service Officers who want to understand how American diplomacy and foreign policy are organized and conducted.
— Hon. Chester A. Crocker, James R. Schlesinger Professor of Strategic Studies, Georgetown University
Frank, incisive, and a good read. I don’t know how we got along without it.
— General John A. Galvin, USA (Ret.), former Supreme Allied Commander, Europe
Reading this book will inspire young people to yearn for a foreign service career; will generate collegial confidence among policy makers in other government branches; and will assure citizens that their foreign service tax dollars are well spent.
— Dr. Lewis Goodman, Dean, School of International Service, American University
Career Diplomacy is a fascinating and readable book about one of America's lesser known assets - the Diplomatic Service.
— Hon. James R. Jones, former US ambassador to Mexico and Chairman of the World Affairs Councils of America
