We sit down with author Paul Richter to discuss his new book, The Ambassadors, which profiles four “expeditionary” ambassadors – Ryan Crocker, Robert Ford, Chris Stevens, and Anne Patterson – as they serve in some of the most difficult posts in the greater-Middle East. Later, they’re joined by Ambassador Anne Patterson herself to delve deeper into her experiences outlined in the book and the current state of our diplomatic corps.
