My Take
Christopher Dell strikes me as the kind of figure whose importance far outsizes his public profile. Serving as U.S. ambassador to Angola, Zimbabwe, and Kosovo is no comfortable posting list; these are some of the most politically fraught environments a diplomat can face. It takes nerve, patience, and a sharp read of people to do that work, and his Oxford education at Balliol no doubt sharpened the mind behind it. I am drawn to people who shape history from the wings rather than the stage, and Dell's career is a reminder that much of the world's stability rests on the unglamorous, careful work of diplomats like him.
