Matthew Palmer

    Matthew Palmer aporta a su escritura una perspectiva de conocedor, basada en un cuarto de siglo de experiencia en el Servicio Exterior de EE. UU.

El trabajo de Palmer explora el intrincado panorama de las relaciones internacionales y las complejidades políticas, informado por sus experiencias de primera mano. Su profundo conocimiento de la región y su gente brilla en su cautivadora prosa.
