delightful book will be on sale; he will autograph copies.
An
enjoyable and amusing afternoon is promised as Tony shares his experiences of diplomatic life.
From the ‘Job Interview’ with Jacob Zuma in Tuynhuis in 2008, to the immersion in governmental bureaucracy and a three-week crash course on ‘How to be an Ambassador’.
