Journalist Gail Scott waltzes you past embassy
gates for a peek into the public and private lives of today's top
foreign diplomats. Through Ms. Scott's candid conversations with
the ambassadors themselves, their families and their staffs, discover
why Washington is the most important diplomatic post in our fast-paced
and ever-changing world of instant communication. Washington's position
as the capital of the world's most successful democracy sets the
stage for the "dances" between countries as their ambassadors
are involved in around-the-clock negotiations. A helpful glossary
and comprehensive embassy directory, with addresses and detailed
statistics on more than 170 countries, give specific help to anyone
who wants to join the "Diplomatic Dance" for fun, school
or business.
