Accidental Encounters with History: And Some Lessons Learned by Lincoln Palmer Bloomfield

From the Publisher

Through a linked series of highly personal essays on foreign affairs and the world scene, Bloomfield draws on his extraordinary career during the past half century. His lively "encounters" are first-hand - often anecdotal - experiences in the State Department, as a White House staff member, a professor at MIT, and being on the lecture platform in thirty-five countries. Two themes run throughout the book: a deep interest in governance through bureaucracies; and his quest for greater rationality in foreign affairs. Thus, he provides us with vital lessons to improve international relations for a better world.
