Review: The IAEA commissioned the author, who has been associated with the IAEA for more than forty years, to write its history. The book covers the period from the time of the 'Atoms for Peace' speech by General Eisenhower at the General Assembly of the United Nations in December 1953 to the end of 1997. The author assesses the main achievements and setbacks and what can be learned from them and discusses how far the organization has met its original aims.
