This was OK, not spectacular. The author said in the introduction that I would be outraged by what I read; I wasn't, except for one brutally unjust rape case. I do agree that it shows where the laws about diplomatic immunity need to be adjusted, in some cases radically. This is an informative study of what shenanigans can be hidden inside a diplomatic pouch.
