Anatol Lieven speaks with Chas Freeman on his classic book, "Diplomat’s Dictionary"

[link removed]
Today @ Noon ET: Book Talk – Diplomat’s Dictionary
[link removed]

In his classic work Diplomat’s Dictionary, Ambassador Chas Freeman sets out a collection of definitions of the diplomatic craft and terminology; part Talleyrand, and part Ambrose Bierce. First published in 1994, this remains the most acute, the wittiest and the pithiest of all introductions to the practice of diplomacy. In an era when it sometimes seems that the US and Europe possess not diplomats but anti-diplomats, its lessons are more important than ever. To discuss the book and its lessons, Ambassador Freeman will be joined by Anatol Lieven, director of the Eurasia program at the Quincy Institute.
