Not since Gerald Durrell wrote My Family and other Animals has the memoir, Foreign Service and Greece found such an erudite and humorous scribe.

- Karen Rhoads Van Dyck, PhD.,

Dick Jackson evokes the mystery, beauty and exoticism of Morocco that I myself experienced and was witness to for four unforgettable years as US Ambassador from 1981–1985.

- Joseph Verner Reed, former US ambassador and former Chief of Protocol,

Dick Jackson came up with an incisive prologue, epilogue and annex for the second edition of my father's biography, American Hero, the True Story of Tommy Hitchcock, Sports Hero, War Hero, and Champion of the War-Winning P-51 Mustang, due out from Rowman Littlefield in September 2016. He has now turned his hand to this subjective, revealing and dryly funny account of his own experiences in diplomacy and more.

- Louise H. Stephaich,

This memoir attempts to capture the humor and sheer incongruity of working across cultures in an international career spanning diplomacy and education. Written in a light hearted tone, it also delves into tragic consequences in countries such as Somalia, Libya and Greece. While critical in many respects of US foreign policy, it also hopes to attract adventurous young men and women of today's generation to possible careers in diplomacy. The author uses humor and anecdote to highlight the monumental changes in the world environment and practice of diplomacy in the short space of a single career. The book features cover art and interior sketches by Eliza Jackson.
