Paying Calls in Shangri-La: Scenes from a Woman's Life in American Diplomacy

by Judith M. Heimann and Judith M. Heimann

Book Overview

Judith M. Heimann entered the diplomatic life in 1958 to join her husband, John, in Jakarta, Indonesia, at his American Embassy post. This, her first time out of the United States, would set her on a path across the continents as she mastered the fine points of diplomatic culture. She did so first as a spouse, then as a diplomat herself, thus becoming part of one of the Foreign Service's first tandem couples.
