Seller's Description:
Good in Fair jacket. 288 pages. Ink notation on fep. DJ has some wear, soiling, tears, and chips. Charles W. Thayer (February 9, 1910-August 27, 1969) was an American diplomat and author. He was an expert on Soviet-American relations and headed the Voice of America. In 1937, Thayer became a Foreign Service Officer, after passing his exams. In 1942, he was appointed chargé d'affaires in Kabul, Afghanistan in 1942. He was assigned for a time to the Office of Strategic Services (OSS), a forerunner of the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), in Belgrade. Thayer served in London on the European Advisors Committee which drafted the German terms of surrender at the end of World War II. He attended the Naval War College for a year at the end of the war. After the war, Thayer headed the OSS in Austria and served on the Joint United States-Soviet Commission on Korea. He played a key role in developing the secret Office of Policy Coordination, later merged into the CIA, to counter and destabilize the Soviets. Bears in the Caviar is a hilarious and insightful memoir by a diplomat who was "present at the creation" of US-Soviet relations. Charles Thayer headed off to Russia in 1933, calculating that if he could just learn Russian and be on the spot when the US and USSR established relations, he could make himself indispensable and start a career in the foreign service. Remarkably, he pulled it of. This was but the first in a string of daring moves that kept Thayer in the thick of all things Russian for the next two decades. Architect of the infamous party that Mikhail Bulgakov used to imagine his famous ball scene in Master and Margarita, Senior Polo Instructor to the Red Army, translator to ambassadors, nemesis of the KGB, and, oh yes, Third Secretary in the Foreign Service, Thayer was a boundlessly resourceful, creative and fun-loving public servant. In this memoir, he offers an unparalleled look behind the scenes of diplomatic life in Russia before and during World War II. This is a priceless memoir to read and savor.
