A facility in an exotic country, elegant tailcoats, elegant outfits, the most expensive alcohol, banquets, meetings at the highest level, whispers in the sidelines. Is this what the life of an ambassador really looks like? Discover the secrets of the dream profession! And get to know its dark sides ...
On the pages of the book "Ambassadors" you will find the answer to the question of what the work of an ambassador really looks like.
How to outsmart Angela Merkel? Why Russians, especially when drinking vodka, cannot be criticized? Why was the Polish embassy in Algiers located in the brothel district, and the first Polish consulate in Grodno in a broom closet? How to import Zanzibar carnations without recognizing the island's independence?
Why should the embassy have its own well? What does an ambassador do when it comes to finding tsunami victims? What is the official meeting with the Sultan of Oman like, and how to behave with a beer with Che Guevara? There will also be explanations why life in the facility can sometimes resemble a relationship in a submarine.
The dramatic details of the attempt on his life are also revealed by the former Polish ambassador to Iraq, Edward Pietrzyk, and the former Polish ambassador to Afghanistan, Piotr Łukasiewicz, recalls his meetings with ... the Taliban.
You will find all this in the book by Łukasz Walewski and Marcin Pośpiech entitled "Ambasadorowie" (SQN 2016).
Marcin Pośpiech and Łukasz Walewski talk about it all, who conducted fascinating talks with former and present diplomats.
You had no idea about many of the things in this book. Now you can take a look behind the scenes.
An ambassador is a man who sees and hears something fascinating every day, but apart from his bosses, nobody knows about it. Finally, someone managed to get at least some of these secrets out of our diplomats. Passionate reading, I'm waiting for the second part.

Are ambassadors important negotiators of the state's strategy, excellencies in palaces, offices and limousines, or rather a class of idler officials with undefined duties beyond the control of public opinion? The authors of this interesting book will allow the reader to form their own view.
