In 1995, the Association for Diplomatic Studies and Training (ADST) and the professional organization of the diplomatic corps DACOR created the publishing series "Diplomats and Diplomacy," aiming to highlight the work of American diplomats and their role in global history. Former diplomat Richard Jackson curates here a revealing collection of oral histories from his American colleagues who served in Greece from 1940 to 2020.
This fascinating book is the 75th in the series and the third to be translated into Greek—preceded by Robert Keeley's book The American Embassy and the Collapse of Democracy in Greece, 1966-1969. The testimony of a diplomat, Patakis 2010, and Montygle Stearns' book Andreas Papandreou: The Enigma, Estia 2021.
