This holiday season, give your friends, family and contacts AFSA’s essential guide to the Foreign Service. The 2011 all-new edition of our popular book, Inside a U.S. Embassy: Diplomacy at Work takes readers inside embassies and consulates in over 50 countries, bringing diplomacy to life through profiles, stories and day-in-the-life accounts from more than 80 members of the Foreign Service community. The new edition also includes descriptions of the Country Team, Foreign Service life, dissent, spouse employment, career tracks, and the Foreign Service hiring process for State, USAID, FAS, FCS and IBB. Inside a U.S. Embassy is a great gift for high school and college students considering a career in foreign affairs. Or, if you are teaching a class, visiting a university or high school, or giving a talk on the Foreign Service during a trip home to the U.S., consider giving your hosts a copy of the book.
