- ** The Ugly American is a political novel which depicts the failures of the U.S. diplomatic corps, whose insensitivity to local language and customs was in contrast to the polished abilities of East bloc (primarily Soviet) diplomacy and led to Communist diplomatic success overseas. The book was one of the biggest bestsellers in the country, is one of the most politically influential novels in all of American literature, and has been in print continuously since it appeared. A film version of the novel was made in 1963 and starred Marlon Brando.

I still carry and use one. Anyways, was great to read the correct and documented dates. Thanks for educating me also, if I can remember it tomorrow.
Great display and great Book. Too bad Hillary didn't read it prior to Bengazi as it may have helped her save lives.
You mean the dreaded video?? -- I don't think we have anything to worry about in Hill's future, she is irrelevant
