The Diplomat's Dictionary
For the second edition of The Diplomat’s Dictionary, retired diplomat Freeman has gathered quotations from across the globe and throughout history that perhaps don’t exactly define terms but certainly give insight into what they really mean. This new edition is said to include 476 new entries, with emphasis on terms in use since 1994 (previous edition). The back of the book offers a list of persons quoted, a bibliography of the sources of the quotes, and an index. This is perhaps not an essential library purchase, but for writers of speeches and essays dealing with the topic of diplomacy, this would be a valuable desk source. It is a pleasure to dip into for whatever purpose. --Danise Hoover--This text refers to an alternatePaperbackedition.
