When, in 1997, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) unanimously elected Mohamed ElBaradei as its next Director General, few observers could have forecast the dramatic role he would play over the next 12 years. In this book, Dr. ElBaradei gives us his account from the centre of the nuclear fray.
Sit at the dinner table with Iraqi officials in Baghdad, and listen as they bleakly predict the coming war. Eavesdrop on exchanges between UN inspectors and U.S. officials and observe the behind-the-scenes formulation of the foreign policy and diplomacy that would come to characterise the Bush administration.
