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-ranged missiles. What occurred during the following months has never been recorded in sufficient detail to inform they key questions surrounding Libyan motivations or to identify lessons learned from this experience. Countering WMD: The Libyan Experience (National Institute Press: Fairfax, VA, 2009) by Amb. Robert G. Joseph seeks to fill this void, providing a first-hand account of the events that led to what many have called one of the most significant nonproliferation success stories of our time. Softback: $19.00, available from Amazon and Barnes and Noble.
