Editorial Reviews

"Lydia Chapin Kirk's memoir presents a fascinating portrait of a remarkable life beginning in Erie, Pennsylvania, travelling to Paris and Washington before the First World War, and continuing on with her husband's posting in London and later when he became US ambassador to Belgium, the Soviet Union, and then to Taiwan during the cold war." --The International History Review
