New Book: "Culture Shock"
all proceeds go to the Foreign Area Officer Association (FAOA)
The book is now available for sale on Amazon in hardcover and eBook
We would like to thank all of the FAOA members who wrote and edited for this book. It was an all volunteer effort and all proceeds go directly to FAOA which is a 501c19 nonprofit. The book is dedicated to Steve Norton who contributed to the book and sadly, passed away before its publishing. Steve gave so much to our community and to the profession. We will remember him as we gift this book to FAOs and writing award winners in the future.
We would greatly appreciate positive reviews on Amazon and also referrals to those that could provide an accolade for promotion of future editions. Feel free to reach out to me with any questions on LinkedIn.
Best Regards,
Graham Plaster

From the Foreword
“This volume highlights the training and education that FAOs experience in the U.S. and around the globe every day to make them one of our Nation's most critical resources. More than that, it illustrates for the reader the many ways; sometimes entertaining, sometimes dangerous, that FAOs create lasting human relationships through respect, patience, cultural understanding and most importantly, building and maintaining trust with our allies, partners, and yes even our strategic competitors."
