Cute. Interestingly enough mr. Zaitchik has no idea what the book actually says, and doesn't even bother bringing up any specific points from your articles to refute. It comes down to four pages of "Lucas is stoopid".
Actually the original version had rather more errors but the author kindly corrected them. I am not sure whether this was in time for the print version or not.
I suspect that this must be one of the longest book reviews ever written without knowledge of the content of the book, and so far in advance of publication. I'm flattered.
Everything in that article apart from the references on a book (which might be true, might be not) is absolutely correct. Good article, focusing on the main points.
The eXile, founded in 1997, is a Moscow-based English-language biweekly free newspaper, aimed at the city's expatriate community, which combines outrageous, sometimes satirical, content with investigative reporting. In October 2006, co-editor Jake Rudnitsky summarized the eXile's editorial policy to The Independent: "We shit on everybody equally."[1] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_eXile

Bene Merito award
Without my foreknowledge, I was last year awarded the Bene Merito medal of the Polish Foreign Ministry. Although enormously honoured by this, I have sadly decided that I cannot accept it as it might give rise to at least the appearance of a conflict of interest in my coverage of Poland.
"The New Cold War", first published in February 2008, is now available in a revised and updated edition with a foreword by Norman Davies. It has been translated into more than 15 foreign languages.
I am married to Cristina Odone and have three children. Johnny (1993, Estonia) Hugo (1995, Vienna) and Isabel (2003, London)

Did your publisher send an advance copy of your book to Mark Ames & friends back at the Exile, or is Zaitchik reviewing a book he didn't read?
Just one factual error in an Exile article. Must be a record.
