Excellency - Journal of a Diplomat

This book is an integral whole of two parts, an acclamation of the art and skill of diplomacy as seen through the eyes of a practitioner and the revelation of the abundance of encounters and national events that diplomats invariably have to wade through. It is a guidebook with tales. More a journal than a biography, it embraces a rich blend of diplomatic practices, personal anecdotes and penetrating observations of national characteristics and recent historic moments across Asia and Europe, lace with a sprinkling of interesting encounters with some contemporary national leaders, such as Norodom Sihanouk, Deng Xiao-Ping and Erich Honecker.
