From Foggy Bottom to Capitol Hill, by John Chapman “Chips” Chester

“While at first blush it may appear that this book was written by someone unable to hold a job for long, that proves not to be the case. Or more precisely put, Chips Chester’s hegira from the military to the Foreign Service to congressional staffs has left him with many good stories to tell.  And they are tales with much humor, substantial insight into our diplomatic and political systems, and a graceful writing style. I knew the author best as a very good FSO; now I know him, as well, as a fine writer.” —Lawrence Eagleburger, former Secretary of State and Ambassador to Yugoslavia

Softcover: $20.00

To the Happy Few: A story of death, love, and loss in the Sudan, by Hume Horan

" It's a ripsnorting good story with the vivid raciness of a James Bond adventure, a thought-provoking reminder of Islamic diversity, and a multifaceted portrait of Foreign Service life. I gulped it down and was entertained, informed, and regretful when it was over." —George Vest, former Director General of the Foreign Service

 by Gordon R. Weihmiller and Dusko Doder

"There seems never to have been a single point at which the question of whether there should be a summit meeting has been decided. In each administration, the decision appears to  have been a matter of the evolution of pressures to the point where a summit became both a diplomatic and political necessity." —from the foreword by DAVID D. NEWSOM

"A very useful summary and analysis. . . . The select bibliography is excellent. Recommended for graduate students and faculty." —CHOICE
