The irony is..., September 30, 2003
By 	Griswel (Rochester, NY) - See all my reviews
...that the State Department, by arresting Joel Mowbray (over some supposed leaks), gave him the name recognition to sell this book. Prior to that arrest there really wasn't anyone who's job description was "high profile State Department basher", and now there's Joel Mowbray. This book is the perfect answer to a State Department which showed as little wisdom in arresting him as it does in everything else it handles.

I had no idea, September 27, 2003
By 	Jonathan Garthwaite (Washington, DC United States) - See all my reviews
Mowbray tells the tale of a government department woefully out-of-control. One amazing chapter details Ronald Reagan's Secretary of State, Charles Shultz testing the loyalties of Foreign Service operatives. All to often they would be more interested in helping their host country than serving the interests of the United States.

Mowbray was briefly detained by the State Department last year. That detainment certainly spurred the reporter to dig deeper into the problems at State. I bet they wish they could go back and undo that mistake.

If you've been following the war on terrorism, you owe it to yourself to read this book and find out if the entire government is united in that goal or not. I definitely recommend this book.

Not All Together, February 6, 2004
By 	P. M Simon "El Simon Asombroso" (New Mexico) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Joel Mowbray has an axe to grind. He also doesn't understand that foreign policy is not made at the State Department (it is made at the NSC and has been since FDR's 3rd term). Further, he seems to want to indict the Foreign Service without having really spoken to any members. He also doesn't seem quite able to grasp that the State department neither makes nor administers US military relationships. He also just doesn't seem on top of simple truths like "the job of diplomats is not to provoke wars."

All those indictments aside, he does have some very valid points. The DOS does give out visas too easily, or at least it did before 9-11. The Consular Affairs bureau is NOT vigorous enough in helping US citizens abroad. And the Foreign Service is rife with apologists, collaborators, wimps, and egomaniacal sycophants, as he alleges. I know: I was a Foreign Service Officer for ten years!

Don't expect anything "fair and balanced" in Joel's little screed here. But there are certainly some things to get you thinking and it might be worth reading this along with some views from the other side of the spectrum.
