"These memoirs of an unusually wise and perceptive American
diplomat provide rare insight into America at the apogee of its
global power. Ambassador Newsom reminds us throughout that one of
our greatest strengths is the diplomatic power of the United States
in a complex world." -- Nicholas Burns, Professor, Harvard
University, and former Under Secretary of State for Political
Affairs "David Newsom's memoirs are a deeply personal, witty, and
wise account of the life of one of America's finest diplomats.
Newsom combined an intuitive grasp of foreign cultures with a wry,
self-deprecating sense of humor. During three decades in the field
and in Washington, he was truly 'in the eye of the storm' as he met
some of the major challenges our nation faced abroad. Crises
brought out his most sterling qualities: competence, courage, and
discipline." --Roscoe S. Suddarth, former U.S. Ambassador to Jordan
