Here is an annotated list of some of the volumes written or edited by Foreign Service personnel and family members, past and present, in 2002 and 2003. This year’s selection contains a lively history and biography section, thoughtful studies of policies and issues, and as many as 10 diverse memoirs of Foreign Service life — as well as several help- ful “how tos” for adapting to the nomadic lifestyle, four novels, and new culinary and children’s books sections.

Our primary purpose in compiling this list is to celebrate the wealth of literary talent within the Foreign Service community, and to give our readers the opportunity to support colleagues by sampling their wares.
