520    "From a former Wall Street Journal foreign correspondent, 
       an exuberant memoir of life, love, and transformation on 
       the frontlines of conflicts around the world. Growing up 
       in 1970s Detroit, Lynda Schuster felt certain life was 
       happening elsewhere. And as soon as she graduated from 
       high school, she set out to find it. Dirty Wars and 
       Polished Silver is Schuster's story of her life abroad as 
       a foreign correspondent in war-torn countries, and, later,
       as the wife of a U.S. Ambassador. It chronicles her time 
       working on a kibbutz in Israel, reporting on uprisings in 
       Central America and a financial crisis in Mexico, dodging 
       rocket fire in Lebanon, and grieving the loss of her first
       husband, a fellow reporter, who was killed only ten months
       after their wedding. But even after her second marriage, 
       to a U.S. diplomat, all the black-tie parties and personal
       staff and genteel "Ambassatrix School" grooming in the 
       world could not protect her from the violence of war. 
       Equal parts gripping and charming, Dirty Wars and Polished
       Silver is a story about one woman's quest for self-
       discovery--only to find herself, unexpectedly, more or 
       less back where she started: wiser, saner, more resolved. 
       And with all her limbs intact"--|cProvided by publisher.
