NOTES ABOUT THE PUBLICATION:

A copy of the full index to this volume is available at: ArchDiplomacyIndex.pdf. It is also available from the author at address to the right. Some early copies of the book (2010) contained an incorrect index. If you find that your index does not work, please contact the publisher or author for a full and complete index.

Note that the publisher inadvertently replaced the photograph of the U.S. Embassy in Paris (fig. 10) with a photo of the ambassador’s residence (shown also in fig. 15). The correct photo should be:

U.S. Embassy, Paris, France  Main Entrance

Also note that information in the second paragraph on page 24 should be corrected to read: “The Department purchased a handsome villa in Oslo in 1924, for example (fig. 3). Built in 1911 by former Norwegian Consul General Hans Olsen and his wife Mina Nobel Olsen (niece of Alfred Nobel), the villa was designed by noted Norwegian national romantic architect Henrik Bull.
