Professional interpreters and translators earned $8.6 billion dollars worldwide in 2005-not bad for an occupation that began as a way for slaves to survive. Interpreters are necessary for human communication between languages and between enemies and allies. Robert Burgener tells us the most interesting and most moving stories from his years of personal experiences with interpreters in the real world. We learn Burgener's skills in integrating ethical, legal, and common sense issues with national security concerns and human dignity. Once I started reading this book I knew that I had to finish it.
