Diplomatic Tales: Your Invitation To The Embassy

by William S. Shepard

Diplomatic Tales tells the story of how American diplomacy works overseas. Career diplomat William S. Shepard first guides us through the practical side of diplomatic experience in Part One, Consular Tales, a record of his actual experiences in five missions overseas, and in the Department of State in Washington. In Part Two, Foreign Service Tales, we explore through fiction every part of an American Embassy, from the glamorous Ambassadorial suite to the General Services Office where essential security and other administrative functions are performed. Along the way, jealousy, love lost and gained, murder and hauntings can be expected!
