The Age Of Deception

For twelve years mohamed el baradei negotiated every key nuclear confrontation of our time. Dealing with the nuclear aspiratios of libya and north korea, standing up to the bush administration on iraq, and managing the west’s turbulent stand off with iran, the mild mannered egyptian lawyer emerged as the one independent, objective voice, unique in maintaining credibility in the arab world and the west alike. and after he and the iaea were jointly awarded the 2005 nobel peace prize, his role only gained in intensity. the age of deception is an unparalleled account of the struggle to come to grips with the insecurities of the nuclear age by a man who from long, hard experience knows the true risks better than anyone.
