Description

Description

In 1995, the Association for Diplomatic Studies and Training (ADST) and the professional organization of the diplomatic corps DACOR created the publication series "Diplomats and Diplomacy," aimed at highlighting the work of American diplomats and their role in world history. Former diplomat Richard Jackson curates a revealing collection of oral histories from his American colleagues who served in Greece from 1940 to 2020. This book is the 75th in the series and the third to be translated into Greek. This valuable collection of testimonies from American diplomats who served in Greece is now available. THANOS VEREMIS: "I liked the approach of the book, which allows American diplomats to share their memories. I also appreciated the interventions of the editor." RICHARD L. JACKSON: "The narratives collected here, sometimes deliberately humorous or lighthearted, make the volume not intended solely for academics and diplomats, but for anyone interested in how Americans and Greeks have done and continue to do diplomacy." JAMES K. WARREN: "The consulate was somewhat like an observation post. In one sense, it was not different from the job I had in Vietnam." JOHN D. NEGROPONTE: "I believed that despite all the mistakes and failures of the PASOK government, Greece had for the first time a genuine non-communist left." MONTY STERN: "The great thing about being an American ambassador is that you can call Fortune 500 companies and say 'I want to see your president please'." JEFFREY PAYAT: "Richard L. Jackson served in the U.S. diplomatic corps from 1965 to 1999, taking assignments in Somalia, Libya, Washington, Greece, Morocco, and at the UN." The book offers significant historical testimonies from individuals who played a crucial role in American diplomacy in Greece.
