Our annotated list of some of the volumes written, edited or translated by Foreign Service personnel and their family mem- bers in 2015 and 2016 is not a definitive record of works by FS authors; we rely on the authors themselves to bring their books to our attention. The roundup was assembled with the vital assistance of Associate Editor Gemma Dvorak, Editorial Interns Shannon Mizzi and Katherine Perroots, and Contributing Editor Steven Alan Honley. This year’s list contains six works of history and biography, a solid policy and issues section, eight memoirs, a substantial selection of fiction and three books for young people, in addi- tion to a potpourri of travel, photography, business, culinary and FS parenting books.
