International Atomic Energy Agency: Personal reflections

This set of personal recollections reflect a variety of views from twenty-five people who have played major roles in shaping the policies of the IAEA or have made notable contributions to its work at different periods of its history. They provide individual insights - often from a rarely available insider's perspective - into particular aspects of the development of an international organization and thus complement the History of the IAEA written by David Fischer.
