The format of the selected letters, as Monroe wrote them, is preserved whenever possible, and they are presented for the interest of a general readership as well as for students of military, diplomatic, or political history.

Readers are encouraged to arrive at their own conclusions as to the intention of a specific piece of correspondence.

Breaking Protocol tells the story of the first female ambassadors in US history (1933-1964): Ruth Bryan Owen, Florence Jaffray Harriman, Perle S. Mesta, Eugenie M.
