ADST-DACOR Diplomats and Diplomacy Series

Series Editor: Margery Boichel Thompson

Since 1776, extraordinary men and women have represented the United States abroad under widely varying circumstances. What they did and how and why they did it remain little known to their compatriots. In 1995 the Association for Diplomatic Studies and Training (ADST) and DACOR, an organization of foreign affairs professionals, created the Diplomats and Diplomacy book series to increase public knowledge and appreciation of the professionalism of American diplomats and their involvement in world history. The disturbing aftermath of the August 1998 bombings of Embassy/Nairobi and Embassy/Dar es Salaam forms the dramatic core of Ambassador Prudence Bushnell’s “tale of terror and resilience.” It is the sixty-fifth volume in the series.
