In Diplomatic Affairs Americans abroad, carrying out their duties for their country in unfamiliar if not hostile places, are called to Washington to promote international peaceful uses of nuclear energy. They are successful with Mexico, Cuba, and the Soviet Union, but fail to get their own country to sign on to a treaty of cooperation.
Diplomatic Affairs will appeal not just to people who have served overseas but also to a large segment of the general public curious about what diplomats do. Many readers will relate to real adventures of people like themselves who serve in embassies more than they will to spies, detectives, and lawyers.
