About E14: Diplomatic Adventures - Tony Rossiter - The Station

Tony Rossiter is a former diplomat, civil servant and international consultant. His talk will focus on his time as a young diplomat in the late sixties and early seventies. In Moscow during the Cold War, Western diplomats were kept under surveillance and their flats were bugged. In Karachi, during the Indo-Pakistan war of 1971, bomb blasts shook the walls of Tonys bungalow before women and children were belatedly evacuated. Transferred to Buenos Aires, he arrived shortly after Perns reinstatement as President, when the Montoneros urban guerrillas were stepping up terrorist attacks against Western targets. Tonys book is a behind-the-scenes look at the life of a junior diplomat who had a ringside seat at three critical chapters of twentieth-century history.
