On December 19, 2003, Libya announced to a surprised world that it had decided to abandon its nuclear and chemical weapons programs, as well as its longer-range missiles. Within hours, Prime Minister Blair and President Bush made separate but coordinated statements welcoming Tripoli's decision. Both made clear that Colonel Qadaffi had made this historic choice following months of secret contacts with the United States and United Kingdom. The author of The Libyan Experience, Ambassador Robert Joseph was at the center of this single most successful counterproliferation event of the decade. As the director of the National Security Council's counterproliferation activities, he was one of very few involved in, or even aware of, the secret face-to-face negotiations that preceded Libya's renunciation of its programs to acquire weapons of mass destruction. In fact, he headed the policy discussions with the Libyans that led to this historic and dramatic outcome. What occurred during those months has never before been made available publically or recorded in sufficient detail to answer key questions about Libyan motivations or to identify the lessons learned from this case that may apply to other proliferation challenges. In The Libyan Experience, Robert Joseph fills the void by providing this first hand account of the events that led to this great counterproliferation. Here is the actual history presented by a central figure involved in that success story. The narrative is both scholarly and highly-readable; at times it as much a real-life thriller as it is an historical text. As only a direct participant can, he describes the interactions with the Libyans and assesses their implications for both Tripoli's decision and for the future. This is the definitive, true story that now is told thanks to the author's intrepid work and to his meticulous, highly readable accounting and assessment of events. This is a story that is profoundly important to our understanding of proliferation and of the tools and processes most helpful to its prevention and rollback. As such, it is profoundly important to our future.

Eyewitness Companions: French Wine

Dorling, Kindersley

To drive along the D2 route des vins is to travel through a three-dimensional wine list. For anyone with more than a passing interest in wine, the experience of actually seeing chateaux such as Margaux and Latour has to arouse the tingle of excitement film buffs feel in Hollywood ... The Medoc's quiet towns, woodland and sometimes barely perceptibly sloping vineyards provide a surprisingly plain setting for those buildings. But, like its wines, which initially can seem tough and forbidding, the Medoc demands and rewards patience - and the readiness to look beyond the obvious, and into the past. Recounting the history and ambience of a region where wine has been produced for more than a thousand years, best-selling and award-winning writer Robert Joseph takes us on a personal tour through the appellations of Bordeaux. Discover the many and varied regions from Margaux to St Emilion, from the Medoc to Graves. Savour the wines produced there, and also understand how the climate, the soil and the people make the wines what they are. Visit the chateaux, villages and vineyards of Bordeaux and meet the men and women who, every year, turn baskets of grapes into the bottles of wine that are among the most sought-after in the world. Along the way, Robert Joseph introduces us to the figures - from kings to hermits - who have shaped the history of Bordeaux, and to the colourful traditional confreries - brotherhoods - such as the Jurade in St Emilion, which meet to this day. He also shares anecdotes about famous Bordeaux-lovers - from Samuel Pepys to Richard Nixon. Bordeaux and its Wines is a rich and rewarding book for everyone enthralled by the wines and chateaux, people and culture, of France's most historic wine-producing region.
