Whose Man in Havana?
Adventures from the Far Side of Diplomacy
La description
John W. Graham never imagined that his apprenticeship in the Canadian Foreign Service would have him stationed in Cuba covertly monitoring Soviet military operations on behalf of the CIA. Other assignments, both as a Canadian diplomat and as a member of international organizations proved also to be unexpected and bizarrely entertaining. Whose Man in Havana? examines the lighter and human side of diplomacy, but almost everywhere the dark side intrudes. The intersection of both is black comedy, and there is much of that—often woven around critical policy analysis. Although the book is focused mainly on Latin America and the Caribbean, it ranges across Bosnia, the UK, Ukraine, Japan, and Kyrgyzstan.
