Little Red Dot, The: Reflections By Singapore's Diplomats - Volume Ii: 2 - Tapa blanda

(L)ike all professions, diplomacy depends both on its skills and on its ethics, that both have to be learned, and that it takes time ... This volume and its predecessor tell the individual stories of a group of men and women reaching for that level of achievement with a rare combination of intelligence and human sympathy. -- Sir Frank Berman, KCMG, QC "Visiting Professor of International Law, Universities of Oxford, Cape Town"

This is the sequel to the bestselling book, The Little Red Dot, published in 2005. While the first volume consisted of a collection of essays by Singapore's first- and second-generation diplomats, this second volume contains essays written by the third generation of young ambassadors. The Second Minister for Foreign Affairs, Mr Raymond Lim, has contributed the Foreword. Written in an entertaining and accessible manner, this book is a highly enjoyable read for all who are interested in Singapore current affairs and in the art and science of diplomacy. It contains many inspiring stories which have not been told before.
