Synopsis

Who works in an emby? What do diplomats actually do? Inside a U.S. Emby is the only book that truly answers these questions. Inside a U.S. Emby is a unique resource, taking readers inside embies and consulates in over 50 countries, providing detailed descriptions of Foreign Service jobs and first-hand accounts of diplomacy in action. Gain a sense of the key role played by each member of an emby team from Paris to Kabul, from Bogota to Beijing, and places in between. Travel into the rainforests of Thailand with an environmental affairs officer, face rampaging militias with a political officer in East Timor, and join an ambador on a midnight trip into a Macedonian refugee camp to quell a riot. The book includes profiles of diplomats and specialists around the world serving in Foreign Service positions -- from the ambador to the security officer to the IT professional. Also included is a selection of day-in-the-life entries from 17 different countries, each describing an actual day on the job in an emby. The story section includes 26 tales from the field that give a sense of the extraordinary: the coups, the evacuations, the civil wars, the hards and rewards of representing America to the world. Inside a U.S. Emby was published by the American Foreign Service ociation and edited by a former Foreign Service Political Officer. Updated and revised for 2005.
