		Michael Dobbs: As the administration recognizes, Liberia is the African country with the closest ties to the United States, as it was settled by freed slaves back in 1822.
		Michael Dobbs: The Millenium challenge account is designed to reward those countries that have made progress toward economic development and democracy, and therefore act as an incentive to those countries that are pursuing what the administration regards as "bad policies".
		Michael Dobbs: My colleague, Andy Mosher, who is an editor on the foreign desk and has been Africa for a lot longer than I have, says there is no leading candidate, although there are several possibilities.

		MICHAEL DOBBS: Well, foreign journalists are not permitted to travel outside Belgrade freely, so in order to travel to another part of the country, you need to be accompanied by the Yugoslav army in a bus provided by the army.
		MICHAEL DOBBS: Well, the bus would usually stop actually in a Serb village or a mixed village, and you would see t hat there were very few Albanians living there.
		MICHAEL DOBBS: Well, this was one of the main impressions I had, was that the Serb security forces were well in control, but through a system of checkpoints.

		Michael Dobbs: I agree with you there are two separate issues here: the issue of Bush and the national guard, and the issue of whether CBS aired fraudulent documents without properly checking them out.
		Michael Dobbs: The CBS story was certainly a distraction from what you consider the "real story": whether President Bush fulfilled his obligations to the national guard.
		Michael Dobbs: Journalists are not always just looking for "smoking guns." Sometimes we want to explain a complicated and topical subject to our readers, giving them enough information on which to draw their own conclusions.

	Madeleine by Stanley Meisler
		Both cited me, and Michael quoted me. As a rule Madeleine does not like reporters and makes no exception for me. Her intense press aide, Jamie Rubin, once concocted a theory that, because I knew and liked her, I leaned backward to be ornery.
		Michael's book, while not ignoring the feminine angle, sees Madeleine more as a survivor with the genes and drive to claw to the top, even while never showing her claws.
		Dobbs does not dispute this but believes that Albright must have learned some of the truth about the fate and religion of her relatives when she visited a cousin of her mother in Prague in 1967.

	Madeleine Albright : A Twentieth-Century Odyssey, Owl Books, Michael Dobbs
		Its author, Michael Dobbs, was the Washington Post reporter who first uncovered Albright's Jewish heritage, which had been kept from her by her Czech immigrant parents, who fled to the U.S. when Madeleine was 11 years old.
		As Michael Dobbs makes clear in this timely and important book, it's impossible to understand Albright without an appreciation of the tumultuous events that have shaped her life, and he traces Albright's progress from a European ghetto to the corridors of power in Washington.
		However, I found Dobbs to be only concerned with "breaking the story", and not necessarily caring how it hurt Madeleine and her family.

		Even though he was the creator, Michael Dobbs' characterisation of Urquhart feels wrong- he's a chain smoker, and swears quite frequently; I have no problem with profanity, but in the case of FU, it isn't right.
		Dobbs also misses the opportunity to romantically link Mattie Storin and Urquhart (rectified by the TV adaptor Andrew Davies) and his ending is weak.
		Dobbs may have the advantage of insider knowledge, but it was clearly the considerable talents of screenwriter Andrew Davies - as well as Ian Richardson and the generally excellent cast which made 1990's excellent TV adaption so compelling.

	Review \| Whispers of Betrayal by Michael Dobbs
		Michael Dobbs was both lucky and not in being a literary success from the get-go.
		Author Dobbs, who was an adviser to former prime ministers Margaret Thatcher and John Major, brings to his yarns an authenticity of attitude and action that would elude a writer with less experience or interest in the workings of government.
		But it is Dobbs' sketches of toadying and eccentric politicians that are the most delightful.

		Dobbs, the author of that article, stretches his scoop into a full-length biography that focuses more on the personal than on the political.
		Dobbs is deeply sensitive to this, and you get the feeling that even as she climbs the ladder to her ultimate success, she wonders whether she is up to the job that lies ahead.
		The facts around Dobbs writing this book bother me. It started with him digging up the fact that she was Jewish (Haven't we progressed beyond caring whether someone is Jewish?) After Dobbs discovered this fact and it broke in the news, he decided to write a book.

		A reporter for the Washington Post, Dobbs (Madeleine Albright: A Twentieth Century Odyssey) draws on "a treasure trove" of 40 boxes of FBI records to document the story of eight Nazi saboteurs, deposited by U-boats on Long Island and on the coast of northern Florida in June 1942.

		Dobbs calls him "a strange amalgam of genius and incompetence, idealism and egotism, naive and cunning." The verdict on Dobbs is much clearer: his journalism will instruct future historians.
		This is a compelling and vivid description of the events that led to the toatal disintegration of the Soviet Empire, from the collapse of its East European satellite states to the impolosion of the USSR itself.
		Dobbs cites first-person Russian sources extensively (and footnotes to them) and seems to do a good job of sorting through what is accurate versus self-serving in those sources.

		Not long after she was sworn in as the first female American secretary of state, Albright, a Czech immigrant, was the subject of a Washington Post Magazine article that revealed to the worldAand, Albright has maintained, to herselfAthat she is the daughter of Jews who converted to Catholicism before WWII.
		Dobbs doesn't believe Albright's claim that she didn't know about her Jewish heritage, writing that "there are simply too many contradictions and inconsistencies in her story for it to be believable." But he doesn't really fault her for her alleged evasionAat least not strongly.
		Instead, Dobbs takes Albright's roots as a cue to tell a great story animated by the very American themes of outstanding achievement and the reinvention of the self.

	Saboteurs by Michael Dobbs
		As told by Michael Dobbs, the story of the botched mission and a subsequent trial by military tribunal, resulting in the swift execution of six saboteurs, offers great insight into the tenor of the country--and the state of American intelligence--during World War II and becomes what is perhaps a cautionary tale for our times.
		Dobbs delves, incisively, into the mindset of the different participants, from the saboteurs, with their conflicting back stories, agendas and loyalties, to midlevel FBI operatives, to the legal minds summoned to work the cases.
		"Dobbs expertly deploys the wealth of detail he has unearthed to bring this crew to life.

		Michael Dobbs does not paint a pretty picture of British politics in this thrilling if somewhat predictable politcal thriller.
		Intrigue, deception, lies and skullduggery are what Tom Goodfellowe, our honorable hero (and seemingly the only politician with a scrap of integrity), must deal with in his fight to expose the truth behind the passage through the House of Commons of an apparently innocuous bill.
		It's the first book i've read by Dobbs and i'd best recommend it as an alternative to John Grisham for those long journeys.
