About The Last Telegram

“Protocol placed the placards and the General-Secretary banged her gavel…Back in the cheap seats, I heard the Indian delegate turn to Nigeria: “Rather like watching a séance, isn’t it?” “They’re trying to reach 1945 again,” chuckled the Nigerian.”

With irreverent wit and insider insight, The Last Telegram takes readers behind the marble façade to expose how global ideals unravel in the theater of diplomacy.
