Random House, New York, 2002. First Edition. Hardback. During the past ten years, few issues have mattered more to America's vital interests or to the shape of the twenty-first century than Russia's fate. To cheer the fall of a bankrupt totalitarian regime is one thing; to build on its ruins a stable democratic state is quite another. The challenge of helping to steer post-Soviet Russia-with its thousands of nuclear weapons and seething ethnic tensions-between the Scylla of a communist restoration and the Charybdis of anarchy fell to the former governor of a poor, landlocked Southern state who had won national election by focusing on domestic issues. No one could have predicted that by the end of Bill Clinton's second term he would meet with his Kremlin counterparts more often than had all of his predecessors from Harry Truman to George Bush combined, or that his presidency and his legacy would be so determined by his need to be his own Russia hand. With Bill Clinton at every step was Strobe Talbott, the deputy secretary of state whose expertise was the former Soviet Union. Talbott was Clinton's old friend, one of his most trusted advisers, a frequent envoy on the most sensitive of diplomatic missions and, as this book shows, a sharp-eyed observer. The Russia Handis without question among the most candid, intimate and illuminating foreign-policy memoirs ever written in the long history of such books. It offers unparalleled insight into the inner workings of policymaking and diplomacy alike. With the scope of nearly a decade, it reveals the hidden play of personalities and the closed-door meetings that shaped the most crucial events of our time, from NATO expansion, missile defense and the Balkan wars to coping with Russia's near-meltdown in the wake of the Asian financial crisis. The book is dominated by two gifted, charismatic and flawed men, Bill Clinton and Boris Yeltsin, who quickly formed one of the most intense and consequential bonds in the annals of statecraft. It also sheds new light on Vladimir Putin, as well as the altered landscape after September 11, 2001. The Russia Hand is the first great memoir about war and peace in the post-cold war world.

Métailié / Bibliothèque portugaise, 2000. 14 1cmx21 5cmx2 3cm. Broché. 330 pages. Le Groupe a coutume de se retrouver au café du Nègre.Unis par des affinités de goût un mode de vie plus ou moins précaire leur amour pour l'Art une certaine excentricité tous attendent en fait qu'une vocation irrésistible s'éveille en eux ou que leur arrive un événement exceptionnel. La rivalité sous-jacente sous les liens d'amitié une inimité va éclater au grand jour avec l'entrée en scène d'un nouvel intervenant et un véritable jeu de masques commence.Comme un jeu de colin-maillard ce retour obsédant à la case départ : après s'être trompé sur un personnage il faut repartir à la recherche d'un autre... Au lecteur de retrouver à partir de ces indices de ces pistes brouillées de ces masques qui tombent ou derrière lesquels il y a d'autres masques de ces personnages qui se confessent sans jamais rien avouer l'identité du narrateur et sans doute de l'auteur.José Régio a apporté un nouveau ton à la littérature portugaise par son souci d'analyse et la description minutieuse et ironique du doute existentiel de ses personnages. Il les analyse avec une ironie lucide et un apparent cynisme en tout cas sans complaisance, Métailié / Bibliothèque portugaise, 2000, Auckland ; London : Penguin , 1994. First Edition.
