Book Description
No man has ever been able to write the history of the greater years of a nation so as to include the minor incidents of interest. They pass unnoted, although in some cases they may have had values influential in determining the course of events. It chanced that I myself was an actor in one of these lesser incidents, when second secretary to our legation in France, during the summer of 1862. I may possibly overestimate the ultimate importance of my adventure, for Mr. Adams, our minister of the court of St. James, seems to have failed to record it, or, at least, there is no allusion to it in his biography. In the perplexing tangle of the diplomacy of the darker days of our civil war, many strange stories must have passed unrecorded, but surely none of those remembered and written were more singular than the occurrences which disturbed the quiet of my uneventful official life in the autumn of 1862.

Book Description
"Sardonic insights and a lovely pen." Fred Emery, former Executive Editor, The Times, London. "Precht's stories about an American diplomat in the Middle East provide important background about America's present role and challenges in that crucial geography." Burton Gerber, Veteran CIA Officer in Eastern Europe and the Middle East "This is not a striped-pants world. Instead, these stories] illuminate a grittier side of embassy life with a wry sense of humor and a bit of an edge, not unlike the author himself."
