In this timely memoir, Ambassador John Sullivan tells the story of his eventful tenure at the U.S. Embassy in Moscow during a time of increasing tension, Covid lockdowns, diplomatic expulsions, and ultimately culminating in the invasion of Ukraine and the death of Sulivan's beloved wife, Grace. Sullivan is an engaging storyteller with an eye for the humorous moments in what could be a very sober recounting of a serious turning point in history.

As US ambassador to Russia, Sullivan had a front row seat to the initial invasion of Ukraine and was also there in early COVID and Britney Griner‘s detention. Not only does he come across as a very reasonable guy, but he adds some history and his own experiences of the Russian people to make this a rich story. I was fascinated by this one and appreciated getting more of the story from a sort of insider.
