| Abstract

Kopp and Gillespie, both former U.S. Foreign Service officers, provide a candid look at the country's professional diplomats and their work and achievements in advancing American national security interests around the world. The authors also examine the Foreign Service as an institution and as a career, and offer a context for the challenges the service will face in the future.
