| Summary: |
A master of the Kremlin school of negotiation, Andrei Andreyevich Gromyko was one of the most prominent diplomats and political figures of the age. Starting his diplomatic career under Joseph Stalin's rule, at an extremely precarious time, his first major posting was as the USSRE's ambassador to the USA. He earned himself the nickname Mr No. Yet the man himself maintained that he heard the word "no" much more often than he said it. And if he did say it, it was with one sole aim: to prevent himself from being manipulated. Or rather,not himself, but the country he represented. The ability to negotiate - including in its tougher and more brutal forms - was an integral skill of every diplomat of the time. |
