When the White House Calls

In this autobiography, John Price focuses on his years as an ambassador and includes his thoughts on the future of sub-Saharan Africa. It offers readers a view of the daily life of an ambassador - the protocol for official meetings with heads of state, the routine of the office, the process of handling official communications, and the intricacies of diplomacy. More than that he reflects on the three island nations where he served and on the region's increasing strategic importance to the national security of the US.
