From 1955 to 1959, he was a political officer and acting principal officer in Florence. From 1959 to 1961, he was officer in charge of Italian Affairs in the State Department. From 1961 to 1962, Lewis served as Special Assistant to the Under Secretary of State.In 1963-64 he was a visiting fellow at Princeton University. He served as Deputy Assistant Director for Technical Cooperation for AID in Rio de Janeiro, on detail, and in 1966 he was executive assistant to the Ambassador in Rio de Janeiro.In 1967 and 1968, Lewis was Assistant Director for Development in the Office of Brazilian Affairs at AID, and in 1968 he became Deputy Director of that Office In 1968 and 1969, he was a senior staff member on the National Security Council at the White House (on detail).In 1969 Lewis was Special Assistant for Policy Planning in the Bureau of Inter-American Affairs at the State Department, and in 1970 and 1971 he was special assistant to the Director General of the Foreign Service.From 1971 to 1974 Lewis was Deputy Chief of Mission, Kabul.

As ambassador, Lewis had a major role in negotiating the Camp David peace talks in 1978 that resulted in a historic treaty between Egypt and Israel.“Sam set a frame of reference that allowed Carter to understand Begin,” Aaron David Miller, a vice president of the Wilson Center and a former U.S. Middle East negotiator, told The Washington Post. “He managed to gain Begin’s confidence and that set the stage for what I think is the most important act of diplomacy by an American president ever in the Middle East.”The Camp David Accords were signed Sept. 17, 1978, and within months Begin and Sadat were jointly awarded the Nobel Peace Prize. A formal treaty between Egypt and Israel was announced the next year, calling for Israel to withdraw its forces from the Sinai Peninsula and placing limits on Egypt’s military presence in the region.“Nothing was more important than this heroic act of diplomacy,” Miller said. “There was a time when American ambassadors had the will, skill and power to make a difference in diplomacy. Sam was, bar none, one of the best.”In 1966 Lewis received the Meritorious Honor Award from the State Department and the Meritorious Honor Award the same year from AID.Lewis was a frequent guest commentator on Middle Eastern issues for television and radio programs. In 2009 he was be featured in a documentary directed by Harry Hunkele called Back Door Channels: The Price of Peace. Back Door Channels takes its name from the important yet seldom understood role that unofficial back channels of communications, often through third-party countries and private businessmen, played in securing the peace between Israel and Egypt. In addition, the film’s producers conducted in-depth interviews with many of the original participants from the first historic peace process, including former U.S. President Jimmy Carter and other world leaders.In 2011 the United States Institute of Peace dedicated the Samuel W. Lewis Hall.Lewis sat on the U.S. Advisory Council of the Israel Policy Forum, and was involved in the J Street project. He was also an active board member of the American Academy of Diplomacy.Lewis died of Lung Cancer on March 10, 2014 at the age of 83.".
