Richard Benedick is not your average diplomat. A decade ago, industrialists
tried to get him sacked as US negotiator to the Montreal Protocol meeting that
banned the ozone-eating CFCs. He survived to tell that and many other stories in
the new “enlarged edition” of Ozone Diplomacy. Updated to last September, it is
still the definitive story of the world’s first and so far most successful
global environmental treaty. Published by Harvard University Press,
£12.50/$18.95, ISBN 0674650034.
