Representing America: Firsthand Accounts from a Century of U.S. Diplomacy (1924–2024) is an ambitious and timely anthology drawn from the Association for Diplomatic Studies and Training’s unparalleled oral history archive. Edited by Robin Matthewman, the volume presents vivid first-person accounts from U.S. diplomats who witnessed—and often shaped—many of the defining events of the last hundred years, from World War II and the Cold War to decolonization, terrorism, humanitarian crises, and climate negotiations.
