About this ebook
In The Age of Deception, Dr. ElBaradei gives us his account from the centre of the nuclear fray. Readers will sit at the dinner table with Iraqi officials in Baghdad, listening as they bleakly predict the coming war. They will eavesdrop on the exchanges between UN inspectors and U.S. officials observing the behind-the-scenes formulation of an approach to foreign policy and diplomacy that would come to characterise the Bush administration. We gain a feel for the difficulty of the IAEA inspectors' struggle to maintain objectivity when trust has been broken, or when the press - or governments - are playing fast and loose with the facts. The Age of Deception is a story of human imperfection, of modern society struggling to come to grips with the multiple dimensions of human insecurity.
Mohamed ElBaradei
Mohamed ElBaradei served as Director General of the International Atomic Energy Agency from 1997 to 2009. Heralded for their work in limiting nuclear proliferation, ElBaradei and the IAEA were jointly awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 2005. ElBaradei, who has a doctorate in International Law from the New York University School of Law, has been widely touted as a potential Egyptian presidential candidate in 2011. He lives in Cairo.

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Interesting and thoughful book about the life of nuclear weapons inspecting. Covers Iraq, Iran, Libya, Pakistan, and N. Korea, and a reasoned and delicate approach to all of these. A job which is all the more important now than ever.
