A Diplomatic Life: From Canberra, the Bush Capital to the roof of the world, The Himalayas (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781763714465)

New Release

In this book, Graeme has sought to dispel false perceptions about the role of a diplomat and portray diplomacy as an honourable, satisfying and rewarding career, but one that can be challenging at times and often entails a lot of hard work. In doing so, Graeme has drawn on his personal experiences. Some of the more dramatic ones involved helping to rescue an Australian mountaineer who had been given up for dead on Mount Everest, dealing with the tragic deaths of two young Australians who died in a plane crash in Nepal, helping to find a solution for the long-suffering Bhutanese refugees as well as becoming involved in issues relating to Indochinese and other refugee groups. In the process, Graeme has highlighted his hands-on experience in tackling these issues.
