Many Americans believe that working as an ambassador comes with a lavish and extravagant lifestyle. There is still much confusion about the work that ambassadors do. “Outpost- Life on the Frontlines of American Diplomacy: A Memoir” by Ambassador Christopher Hill provides a vivid description of Hill’s life and work as an ambassador. The memoir touches on his involvement in the Balkan and Iraq wars, to his role as chief disarmament negotiator in North Korea, and gives personal insight about what he took away from it all. 

Ambassador Christopher Hill is a four time ambassador who served his last tour from 2009 to 2010 in Iraq. He is currently the Dean of the Josef Korbel School of International Studies at the University of Denver.  

Join the World Affairs Council – Washington, DC as we host Ambassador Christopher Hill, author of “Outpost- Life on the Frontlines of American Diplomacy: A Memoir,” which discusses the highs and lows of serving the country as an ambassador. 

This event is free and open to the public. Copies of the book will be available for purchase and signing. Following the event, there will be a wine and cheese reception.
