For the past 2 decades, Mohamed ElBaradei has enjoyed a key role in the most high-stakes conflicts of our own time. Unique in retaining reliability in the Arab world and the Western world likewise, ElBaradei has surfaced as a singularly independent, uncompromised tone. As the director of the UN's International Atomic Energy Agency, he has contended with the Bush administration's assault on Iraq, the nuclear dreams of North Korea, and the West's standoff with Iran. Because of their efforts to control nuclear proliferation, ElBaradei and his agency received the 2005 Nobel Peacefulness Prize. Now, in a vivid and thoughtful accounts, ElBaradei will take us inside the international fray. Inspector, adviser, and mediator, ElBaradei moves from Baghdad, where Iraqi officials bleakly forecast the coming war, to behind-the-scenes exchanges with Condoleezza Grain, to the roads of Pyongyang and the trail of Pakistani nuclear smugglers. He dissects the opportunity of rapprochement with Iran while rejecting hard-line ideologies of each kind, decrying an us-versus-them way and insisting on the need of relentless diplomacy. Above all, he illustrates that the security of countries is linked with the security of people, dependent not only on disarmament but on a universal determination to human being dignity, democratic values, and the flexibility from want. Probing and eloquent, The Time of Deception is an unparalleled accounts of society's battle to come to grips with the uncertainties of our own age.
