Author: Richard Woolcott Format: Paperback Number of Pages: 362 "No Australian diplomat I have known combines a greater range of experience a…nd breadth of contacts, especially in - but not limited to - South East Asia, as does Richard Woolcott." - Henry Kissinger During his 50 years of public life, Australian diplomat Richard Woolcott witnessed - and often played a part in - many of the 20th century's pivotal moments. From his first posting, to Moscow on the eve of Stalin's death, to retirement as Secretary of the Department of Foreign Affairs and trade, he remained the trusted confidant of politicians across the Labor-Liberal divide. Along the way he traversed nations and ideologies, helped to define our place in the world, and forged important political, cultural and economic ties with our neighbours. His skills as an international diplomat were often tested, most notably when - as ambassador to Indonesia in the 1970s - he came under intense scrutiny for his actions in the lead-up to Indonesia's invasion of East timor. the Hot Seat offers a rare glimpse into the behind-the-scenes world of international debate and deal-making. It takes readers into the private realms of the powerful, and reveals the machinations behind Woolcott's greatest achievements-the maintenance of the Antarctic treaty and the creation of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation forum. Leavened by wry observation, it reveals the complicated, demanding but wonderfully rich experiences of diplomatic life, both home and abroad. Secondhand, Paperback.

Hardcover. Zustand: Good+. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Near Fine. 1st Edition. Cloth hardcover, vi + 202 pages, NOT ex-library. Reprint with corrections. Gentle creasing affecting last pages. Book is clean, bright, untanned, with unmarked text and firm binding, free of inscriptions and stamps. Nice untorn dust jacket. -- Intern…ational politics is a serious business. But, as Richard Woolcott shows in these witty reminiscences, the diplomatic world has more than its fair share of absurdity, and even high comedy. Required not only to sacrifice a settled home and family life in the service of their country, diplomats must also heroically offer up their livers to booze, their stomachs to endless official dinners, their integrity to dangerous liaisons and the weasel art of spin, and their sanity to the pomposity and weird protocols that are an integral part of the international scene. Undiplomatic Activities is filled with anecdotes and tall tales from an extraordinary career that spanned the second half of the twentieth century: from junior diplomat in Cold War Moscow to Secretary of the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade in Canberra, via the capitals of Europe, Africa, Asia, the USA, and the United Nations. From the heady negotiations of global statecraft to the petty and labyrinthine politics of ministers and mandarins, join this ultimate insider on a hilarious and insightful tour of duty through the diplomatic world. Superbly illustrated by David Rowe, one of Australia's great comic geniuses. David Rowe (illustrator).

In den WarenkorbFirst edition. Signed (inscribed) by the author. Hardcover. Top edge slightly foxed, otherwise fine in fine dustjacket. Woolcott (1927--2023) was a long-serving career diplomat (Australian ambassador to the UN 1982-1988) and trusted confidant of prime minsters and foreign ministers, a charismatic and capable diplomat who witness…ed first hand some of the pivotal moments of the 20th Century. Profusely illustrated with b/w photographs. This is an interesting association copy, inscribed by Woolcott to politican (and financier) John Hewson, who was leader of the Liberal Party in Australia from 1990-1994. The inscription on the title-page reads: "John/ With admiration/ for your courageous stand/on national issues and/ our best wishes for the/ future, / Dick Woolcott/ 11.March 2003". Laid in is Woolcott's business card, from when he'd retired from politics, this one noting his directorship of the "Asia Society/Australasian Centre".
