The New American Expat is a complete, up-to-date and highly practical guide on how to be a successful American expatriate—how to find foreign jobs, prepare for life as an expat, move to a foreign country, adjust to other cultures, find success in an overseas assignment and successfully repatriate upon one’s return. What further distinguishes the book from other expat titles is that The New American Expat will be the first book on the subject to address two new and important issues:

· How to be an American while living and working overseas, a controversial topic given the increasingly critical view of the US held by many throughout the world, and the consequent damage to America’s global image. The book addresses current attitudes and stereotypes toward Americans as well as expectations of them while overseas.

· How to live and work in foreign countries safely and securely in light of the new risks facing Americans in the post-9/11 world. A full chapter on safety and security—vetted by an international security firm—advises expats on how to conduct themselves in at times less than friendly environs.
