Reviews

Ambassador William Rugh, one of the most distinguished American practitioners of the art of public diplomacy, has written a remarkable book. From basic principles through to the subtleties of today's social media this is the essential guide for any public diplomat headed for the field or for any analyst who wishes to understand how this essential element of international relations is practiced. This book will be required reading in diplomatic training classes in the US and one anticipates further afield also. Nicholas J. Cull, Professor of Public Diplomacy, University of Southern California, USA Ambassador Rugh presents a comprehensive, current and insightful overview of US public diplomacy field operations, filling a long-vacant niche in real-world PD resources for professors and students. His deep background as a distinguished practitioner of PD makes for a nuanced, yet focused, presentation of the opportunities and challenges facing PD professionals past and present. - Elizabeth Whitaker, Georgetown University and George Washington University Adjunct Professor of Public Diplomacy, USA, and former Deputy Assistant Secretary of State and senior Public Diplomacy Officer
