This book is an account of the author's sometimes comical,
sometimes frustrating, but always enlightening adventures as a
diplomat in seven countries. As a former academic who had worked
and traveled in some sixty countries of the world before joining
the Foreign Service, Huffman provides trenchant commentary on the
history, culture, and political situation in each country. Written
with a light touch, the book critiques some of the stifling
bureaucracy and resultant inefficiency of the U.S. Department of
State, along with practical recommendations for improvement. In the
Prologue he describes the circuitous route by which a Virginia farm
boy became a professor and diplomat. This brief introductory
account of the first fifty years of the author's life establishes
his credentials. Your Diplomats at Work is a richly detailed memoir
of the author's varied experiences across two careers.
