Yes, a fabulous book. Though I must say that in my experience many diplomats are completely unaware of the culture with which they must interact, Americans by reputation are some of the worst.

Fortunately, the U.S. does not interact primarily through its diplomats. It has instead a plethora of extremely intelligent, well-spoken and politically-minded businessmen who forge many more relationships with their peers in other countries than the diplomats. These men (and women) in my experience tend to be far more careful of their host nation's cultures.
