Paris; and my capable editors at Public Affairs in New York,
Clive Priddle and Morgen Van Vorst. The journey from manuscript
to published book was beautifully orchestrated by Peter
Garceau, Lindsay Goodman, Lisa Kaufman, Whitney Peeling,
Melissa Raymond, Chrisona Schmidt, Meredith Smith, and
Susan Weinberg.
I owe a special note of thanks to readers who read and
commented on early drafts of the manuscript: Frank
Anechiarico, Tom Cohen, Alex Kodat, Mary Mackay, and Jim
and Thuy Nach. My inspiring editors at The New Yorker, John
Bennet and David Remnick, published an early version of this
story in May 2005.
I am lucky to have two literary agents who are literary:
Michael Carlisle in New York and Michelle Lapautre in Paris.
I am grateful for financial support from the Fund for Investigative
Journalism, the Research Foundation of the State University
of New York, and the Dean of the College of Arts and
Sciences at the University at Albany.
My loving family was infinitely patient and supportive. I
am nurtured by their good cheer and good ideas. Along with
thanking my wife Bonnie and daughter Maude, I dedicate this
book to my sons Tristan and Julian, who are coming of age in a
world far from but perhaps not unlike the one described in
this book.
