Ambassador Laurence Pope Ret served in the foreign service and diplomatic corps for thirty one years, in one the most important, and difficult, regions in the world – the Middle East, as well as North Africa, and did so during some of more challenging periods of contemporary history.

Among the topics Larry speaks about are International Affairs, Diplomacy, Public Policy, National Security, Middle East Policy, The Arab Spring.
