This book does exactly that by detailing the doings of a U.S. Foreign Service Cultural Officer in five hot spots of the Cold War - Germany, Laos, Poland, Austria, and the Soviet Union - as well as service in Washington D.C. with the State Department, the Helsinki Commission of the U.S. Congress, and the National Endowment for Democracy.
