"The aim of this Handbook is to alert attorneys to particular issues that can arise in various consular contexts, from agency procedure to specific legal issues, to dealing with key issues at specific consular posts."--p. ix.

A fun, pragmatic index to key information for a successful practice as an Honorary Consul. A voyage of discovery to information from the origins to the presence of Consuls in film, literature, theatre, spying, war, and peace. It includes a sartorial touch on dressing codes and etiquette to round up the unassuming share of worldly facts at the reach of the reader's hand.
