A Gathering At The River: Stories From A Life In The Foreign Service

In This Review

Purchase

Marvelous tales, most of them short but some possibly tall, of an American consular officer's adventures, mainly in Brazil during World War II and in Budapest from 1945 to 1950. The Brazilian parts are light-hearted and funny, the Hungarian ones not quite as much so.
