The Boeing 747 plunged into the Sea of Japan, killing all 269 passengers and crew. Reactions around the world were of horror and indignation. The Reagan Administration energetically asserted that flight 007 had drifted off course accidentally, and that the Soviet Union fired knowingly and without warning on an unarmed civilian airliner. Meanwhile, it took the Soviets an incredible six days to confirm that they had shot down the plane at all and three more to issue their version of what had happened. By that time, the Reagan Administration had scored one of the most impressive propaganda victories of the entire Cold War. With the passage of time, however, much new information has come to light which casts grave doubts on the American government's early claims and the integrity of those who asserted them. In this exhaustively researched and brilliantly argued work, R. W Johnson demolishes the Reagan Administration's version of events. He lucidly sets this tragedy in the context of vital American and Soviet strategic interests in the North Pacific, the imperatives of electronic espionage, arms control negotiations, the MX missile vote, splits within the Republican Party, and the overall state of Soviet~American relations then and now. It will be hard for a reasonable person to read this book and not conclude that flight 007 was on an intelligence mission for the United States government when it was shot down. And if it was, the credibility of the Reagan Administration's entire Cold War posture must be questioned~perhaps by the full Congressional investigation never undertaken prior to the publication of Shootdown.

"American Charcuterie is an impressive range of different types of food united by what I believe food should be: simple, honest, tasty, and earthy. These are recipes that make you hungry before you cook and give you enormous pleasure as you prepare them. like me, you will feel the heady and sensuous aromas. Then you will see why I have such a passion for Victoria Wise's food."~Ken Hom When Pig~by~the~Tail opened in a small shop in Berkeley, California, in 1973, it was the first traditional French charcuterie in the country. Victoria Wise, its founder, brought to her new venture an abiding love and mastery of French pork cookery and a quintessentially Californian taste for freshness, innovation, and ethnic cuisines. American Charcuterie brings the glories of Pig~by~the~Tail home to the kitchen. Its recipes for pates, terrines, galantines, sausages, and preserved meats are ctassic in technique, yet, in line with contemporary taste, relatively low in fat and salt content. The mouth~watering recipes for fresh salads use fish, chicken, and vegetables as well as pork and draw on the cuisines of Italy, China, Japan, Mexico, and the Middle East for inspiration. From appetizers to main dishes to desserts, the enticing, eclectic, and original array of dishes is united by the principles of honesty, taste, and freshness~ from the simplesl compositions to the most demanding charcuterie preparations. Here are the dishes that made Pig~by~the~Tail an institution in the Bay Area, the reigning capital of American culinary excellence and invention, in a wonderfully clear, sophisticated, charming, and inventive cookbook. From duck liver mousse and Champagne sausage to Chinese chicken salad and Armenian lamb pizza, American Charcuterie celebrates our enduring diversity and our new sophistication.
