Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the story of Edward Gabriel and that of the people around him. It is the story of a young Lebanese-American whose family immigrated in 1910. Gabriel has attempted to collect and preserve these memories of his life, from toddler to former Ambassador, so that they do not disappear forever. He hopes they will contribute to the legacy of the US Foreign Service, so that others can learn from his experience that diplomacy is the art of listening to and understanding different cultures, religions, and political views without imposing one’s own; that closer relations with people can create better relationships between nations.
