The Constant Diplomat: Robert Ford in Moscow - Tapa dura

"The Constant Diplomat, not only a powerful and compelling testimony of a rare life, of someone who truly elevated diplomacy to an art form, is a masterful exposition of Ford's deeply informed views on the Soviet Union and Russian traditions and an important contribution to our understanding of the cold war in general and Canada's role in relation to the Soviet Union and the United States." Daniel Orlovsky, author of Russia's Democratic Revolution "Based on extensive and thorough research, including the innumerable diplomatic dispatches and reports penned by Ford, The Constant Diplomat offers a sound sense of the views of one of the most important Canadian diplomats of the twentieth century."
