Inside a U.S. Embassy: Diplomacy at Work, All-New Third Edition of the Essential Guide to the Foreign Service 3rd Edition by Shawn Dorman
If you want to know the facts about how US diplomatic missions work, who they employ, day-to-day living, the challenges, the successes, this is the book! Shawn gives great, understandable details and real life examples. Interviews with diplomats, embassy and consulate workers, ambassadors, consul generals, key personnel, it’s all there. The most complete work anyone will find. You will come away knowing how important these structures are and how much they affect American Foreign Policy. The very presence of embassies and consulates around the world means the influence of the US Department of State, Pentagon, and White House are literally on foreign land and accessible to the diplomats and government leaders of that country. It is a more robust package of diplomacy rather than only having envoys at the United Nations. Make no mistake, American interests are propagated through these highly essential structures and their staff members. Out of anything you see on my site, this is the first book I will always recommend and it is worth the money. It can be found on Amazon!
