Perfect for you if...

You're interested in how behind-the-scenes diplomacy actually works and want to understand the invisible rules that shape international relations.
You're in a profession where first impressions and relationships matter, and you're curious how the highest levels of government build trust.
You appreciate memoir-style storytelling with practical takeaways and enjoy learning from someone who's seen and shaped history firsthand.

Maybe not for you if...

You want a dry policy textbook rather than a narrative account with personal anecdotes and war stories.
You're looking for a self-help book with quick tips rather than deeper insight into diplomatic strategy and cultural intelligence.
You're not interested in how etiquette and protocol function in high-stakes professional environments.

About this book

Capricia Penavic Marshall, who served as chief of protocol for President Barack Obama and social secretary to President Bill Clinton and First Lady Hillary Clinton, examines the importance of diplomacy and etiquette in both high-level government and everyday interactions. Drawing on her experience facilitating diplomatic relations between world leaders, Marshall explains how careful attention to detail—from room design to cultural gestures—can influence outcomes and create advantage. She shares accounts of both near-failures and successes from her work in these roles, presenting insights into the practice of soft power and its practical applications.
