This Too Is Diplomacy

While building connections throughout the world, Dorothy Irving advanced understanding of American ideals as well as American interests. In this book she talks about some of these activities - about the challenges and the rewards of doing something she loved and that made a difference. She tells us of the positive impact her actions had on the countries where she lived. She writes, too, about learning new customs and new languages, establishing homes wherever she lived, and about raising three children in the nomadic life of a Foreign Service family. Some of the stories are funny; some, heart-warming; all are interesting; all are true. This Too is Diplomacy is the story of one Foreign Service family and of how one Foreign Service wife represented A.merica.
