On Distant Service: The Life of the First U.S. Foreign Service Officer to Be Assassinated - Hardcover
Inhaltsangabe
On July 18, 1924, a mob in Tehran killed U.S. Foreign Service officer Robert Whitney Imbrie. His violent death, the first political murder in the history of the service, outraged the American people. Though Imbrie&;s loss briefly made him a cause célèbre, subsequent events quickly obscured his extraordinary life and career.
  
Susan M. Stein tells the story of a figure steeped in adventure and history. Imbrie rejected a legal career to volunteer as an ambulance driver during World War I and joined the State Department when the United States entered the war. Assigned to Russia, he witnessed the October Revolution, fled ahead of a Bolshevik arrest order, and continued to track communist activity in Turkey even as the country&;s war of independence unfolded around him. His fateful assignment to Persia led to his death at age forty-one and set off political repercussions that cloud relations between the United States and Iran to this day.
Drawing on a wealth of untapped materials, On Distant Service returns readers to an era when dash and diplomacy went hand-in-hand.
