Ambassadors at Sea
In 1969, Henry Catto was selling insurance in San Antonio, Texas. Just twenty years later, he presented his credentials as ambassador to the Court of St. James's to Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth II, at Buckingham Palace.

Drawing from an impressive array of documents and sources as well as from her unique first-han...
