This is a vivid account of how a foreign ministry was established at home, and missions were set up abroad. The Singapore Foreign Service is a record of the experiences, often exhilarating and sometimes chaotic, of the pioneers who established Singapore’s foreign service. On that foundation a modern service was built. The book follows its growth and development, and includes not only the highly visible ambassadors and political officers but also those who work in the background. The book traces events both in Singapore and abroad, and both text and photographs record encounters with many of the key players in world events over the past half-century.
