Books on international affairs and foreign policy abound. Authoritative guidance on how to operate as a diplomat, on the other hand, is rare. This book is very much at the sharp end. It draws on the author's wide experience both of operational diplomacy, multilateral and bilateral, and of questions of diplomatic organization, recruitment and training. To operate effectively in a rapidly changing world the modern diplomat must combine new skills with the traditional virtues of diplomacy. The knowledge and experience of a generation brought up on the classic texts is entertainingly updated for the twenty-first century and made to serve the needs of today's diplomats and analysts of international relations.
