By David A. Korn. Bloomington, IN: Indiana University

This is a fascinating insider's account of one of the most tragic events 
in the history of the American Foreign Service. Cleo Noel and Curt Moore 
were among the Foreign Service's finest professionals�edicated, hard­
working men of impeccable integrity. Although from very different back­
grounds, hard work had brought them close to the pinnacle of the service.
