From Moscow to Cuba and Beyond by Jeanne Sutherland
'From Moscow to Cuba and Beyond' vividly evokes the joys as well as the difficulties of life as an expatriate and diplomat under Stalin, Tito and Castro, as well as of the particular demands of diplomatic life in the USA.
"'A career centred largely on countries under communist rule calls for special qualitiesIt calls for a sense of service, willingness to be posted more than once to a capital where the political climate may at times be acutely uncongenial. It requires discretion, careful behaviour, cheerfulness, patience, the skills needed to interpret communist jargon, and ability cautiously to evaluate the signs of change. It helps if the diplomat and his wife take an interest in the history, the culture and the people of the country to which they are assigned and make it their task to develop personal relations within the limits of what is permitted. These qualities Iain and Jeanne Sutherland had in high degree.' - Lord Brimelow, former Permanent Under Secretary of the Foreign Office"
Jeanne Sutherland was associated with the diplomatic service for over 30 years, travelling with her husband Iain around the world.
