Aprašymas

The Dust of Kandahar" provides a personal account of one diplomat s year of service in America s longest war. Ambassador Addleton movingly describes the everyday human drama of the American soldiers, local tribal dignitaries, government officials, and religious leaders he interacted and worked with in southern Afghanistan.Addleton s writing is at its most vivid in his firsthand account of the April 2013 suicide bombing outside a Zabul school that killed his translator, a fellow Foreign Service officer, and three American soldiers. The memory of this tragedy lingers over Addleton s journal entries, his prose offering poignant glimpses into the interior life of a U.S. diplomat stationed in harm s way.
