The author witnessed major changes at the embassy in Moscow. By his final departure, "Tchaikovsky 19" was broken, a victim of intelligence and counterintelligence failures, Reagan's "rules of reciprocity," and a dearth of area and language expertise. The U.S. shouldn't have its diplomats "skipping around like a waterbug from one country to another," in Ambassador Charles Bohlen's memorable phrase, as they did before the Foreign Service became professional. Diplomats should be trained in the language, culture, and history of specific regions, and be expected to serve in them more than once. Washington's failure to prepare diplomats for the Middle East comes as no surprise; years ago it lost interest in developing area and language experts.
"Readers will discover the failures of Kissinger¿s policy of detente in the early 1970s, the mistaken departure from Carter¿s balanced policy toward China and the USSR, and the near-collapse of the embassy due to intelligence failures"-Foreign Service Journal. "Ober¿s book recounts it all, along with the personalities and events of the time now mostly forgotten: dissidents and refuseniks, Victor and Jennifer Louis, Nina and Ed Stevens, U.S.-Soviet summits, microwaves, bugged buildings and typewriters, fires, spy dust and spy mania . . . It¿s all there, the pageant of U.S. Embassy Moscow 1970-90, a place so unlike today¿s walled air-conditioned, high-rise embassy fortress a block away as to beggar the imagination."-Richard Gilbert, AmericanDiplomacy.org "You have wonderfully captured the way things were in the Soviet Union in the 1970s and ¿80s. I don¿t know anyone who has done it better."-Donald Connery, former Time-Life correspondent, Moscow. "Together with much wisdom about American diplomacy, this rich memoir provides keen insight into Russian thinking and behavior"-George Feifer, "The Girl from Petrovka".
