CARNEGIE ENDOWMENT FOR

Browse an archive of nearly 100 newly declassified cables, memos, and emails from Ambassador Burns's thirty-three-year career-a sample of one diplomat's imperfect efforts to provide ground truths, strategic advice, and-on occasion-disciplined dissent... My diplomatic apprenticeship exposed me to the best-and worst-of American statecraft and its practitioners, from the early rituals of my first overseas tour to a junior role in a Reagan White House recovering from the self-inflicted wound of the Iran-Contra affair.
