Diplomatic Dan is the fourth volume of autobiography by Dan Raschen. It covers the period 1969 to 1973.
Home again, Dan was an ammunition instructor before returning to Cambridge to command the University Officers Training Corps. His second command was of a Royal Engineers regiment in Germany. When, in 1970, Lieutenant Colonel Dan Raschen is posted to Stockholm as Military Attaché for three years he claims it must be because the British Army can't think of anything else to do with him.
In the foreword to the book, General Sir Jeremy Blacker KCB, CBE writes:
| “ | Although it records the experiences of one attaché in one set of circumstances, the events described are of wider interest and in most cases typical of attaché life, while Dan's lively and original view of them imparts a distinctive and invariably amusing spin. | ” |
