Synopsis

El amigo americano son las memorias del hombre que supo marcar tendencia con su impronta personal al redefinir el papel de la diplomacia en pleno siglo XXI. Íntimo amigo de Obama, James Costos no solo normalizó la diplomacia gay, sino que además convirtió la embajada estadounidense de Madrid en el lugar de encuentro, donde confluían jóvenes emprendedores, altos cargos del mundo empresarial, personalidades mediáticas, militares, políticos, jefes de Estado o representantes del mundo del arte y la cultura. Cercano, talentoso, comprometido con sus causas y tremendamente activo en el acercamiento de Estados Unidos y España, Costos supo ir a contracorriente y romper las rígidas barreras del protocolo diplomático, dinamizando con su contagioso y transformador espíritu todos los ámbitos de su embajada.

This is how it begins, a story that took James Costos from a high executive position at HBO to being President Obama’s ambassador in Spain. The American Friend is the memoire of a man who set trends with his personal style by redefining the role of diplomacy in the 21st century. Intimate friend of Obama, James Costos not only normalized gay diplomacy, but also turned the US Embassy in Madrid into the meeting place, where young entrepreneurs, top businessmen, media personalities, military personnel, politicians, heads of state, or key figures in art and culture converged. Warm, talented, committed to his causes, and tremendously active in bringing the United States and Spain closer together, Costos knew how to go against all odds and break the rigid barriers of diplomatic protocol, energizing all aspects of his embassy with his contagious and renovating spirit.
