| What
do Ambassadors Many Americans are not
well informed about the role of diplomacy in our relations with
the rest of the world. With that thought in mind, the American Academy
of Diplomacy prepared this collection of personal accounts by senior
American ambassadors. The relevance of their work to the interests
of the United States and to the welfare of individual American citizens
emerges unmistakably. An introduction highlights the changes in
international relations brought about by dramatic advances in information
technology and transportation. A conclusion discusses the infrastructure
of American diplomacy needed to cope with an increasingly complex,
disorderly and dangerous post-Cold War world. |
