Howard B. Schaffer

Now retired from the Foreign Service after a thirty-six year career that climaxed with his appointment as ambassador to Bangladesh, Ambassador Schaffer teaches and writes at Georgetown University. He is widely recognized as a leading American specialist on South Asia. He is the author of highly regarded biographies of two American diplomats who served as ambassadors to India at times when Washington was deeply involved in efforts to resolve the Kashmir dispute. They were published as Chester Bowles: New Dealer in the Cold War (Harvard University Press, 1993) and Ellsworth Bunker: Global Troubleshooter, Vietnam Hawk (University of North Carolina Press, 2003). Schaffer is also the author of many articles on South Asian matters.
