Description:
"In Those Days: A Diplomat Remembers" by James W. Spain - published in 1998 by The Kent State University Press. Published in cooperation with the ADST-DACOR Diplomats and Diplomacy Series. First Edition. Illustrated. 252pp. Fine condition - both book and dust jacket. "This, I speak carefully, is a most interesting and important book. James Spain, an accomplished writer, tells in fascinating detail of his youth, education, family and family tragedy, of grim even appalling days in the CIA and then of his diverse and brilliant career in the Foreign Service. It is of a world with which I have had some slight personal experience; it rings true in a highly literate way." --- John Kenneth Galbraith, Harvard University.
