Hardcover. Zustand: new. Hardcover. In Those Days is the candid, often funny, autobiography of a twentieth-century American diplomat who spent most of his life in high-level diplomacy in Asia and Africa. The story takes James Spain from an Irish Catholic childhood in gangster-era Chicago through military service as Douglas MacArthur's photographer in occupied Japan and university life at Chicago and a Ph.D. from Columbia. His Foreign Service career brought postings in Islamabad, Istanbul, and Ankara and four ambassadorships - in Tanzania, Turkey, the United Nations (as deputy permanent representative), and Sri Lanka. In Those Days is rich in stories drawn from the author's experiences with such major world figures as Julius Nyerere of Tanzania, President Suleyman Demirel of Turkey, Ayub Mohammad Khan of Pakistan, Sir David Owen and Lord Peter Carrington of the UK, and U.S. presidents Dwight Eisenhower, Lyndon Johnson, Richard Nixon, and Jimmy Carter. Spain's memoir offers readers a firsthand account of U.S. diplomacy and of a family that tied its experiences to the events of contemporary history. He writes of personal triumphs and family tragedies and speculates on the meaning of it all, including the joys and tribulations of retirement in Sri Lanka. In Those Days is the candid, often funny, autobiography of a twentieth-century American diplomat who spent most of his life in high-level diplomacy in Asia and Africa.

James William Spain (July 22, 1926 - January 2, 2008) was in the US Foreign Service with postings in Karachi, Islamabad, Istanbul, Ankara, Dar Es Salaam, and Colombo and four ambassadorships in Tanzania, Turkey, the United Nations (as deputy permanent representative), and Sri Lanka. He was the author of numerous books, including In Those Days, American Diplomacy in Turkey, The Way of the Pathans, and Pathans of the Latter Day. He contributed articles on foreign affairs to a variety of publications. Ambassador Spain lived a distinguished life of service to his country. He was a remarkably able diplomat who met adversity with strength, rudeness with grace, and challenges with enthusiasm. He played pivotal roles in maintaining and strengthening the United States alliance with Turkey, in bringing about a peaceful transition to majority rule in Zimbabwe, and strengthening the United States' relations with all the countries of the subcontinent. He was most proud of the headlines that never had to be written, thanks to his work defusing tensions between nations. The author was a twentieth-century American diplomat who spent most of his life in high-level diplomacy in Asia and Africa. His memoir offers readers a firsthand account of U.S. diplomacy and of a family that tied its experiences to the events of contemporary history. He writes of personal triumphs and family tragedies and speculates on the meaning of it all, including the joys and tribulations of retirement in Sri Lanka.
