This book, appropriately called Reminiscences, describes many of my most important memories that I have, largely focussing on my professional life in Science. It is meant to be read primarily by my "offspring" and perhaps a few others who might be interested to know how I earned a living and spent my time.

My email to cousin Danny Gasman, professor of history in New York. 8 July 1999 I left IREX 15 months ago. Maybe I’m slow in these matters but by the time I signed out there I had come to the conclusion that my colleagues in the Washington headquarters were likely enjoying second incomes from The Agency. And so I moved back to the relatively cleaner business of strong drinks. As managing director of United Distillers in Russia, I am Mr. Smirnoff, Mr. Johnnie Walker, etc. Very congenial company. Also very politicized business. During my lunchtime speech at the Davis (Russian Research) Center in Harvard a month ago, I was trying to make the point to the handful of economists who had not yet left for vacation that the alcoholic beverages industry is as valid a barometer of the Russian political scene as oil and gas. Fred Bergson, who must be well into his 80s and was once upon a time the dean of American economists specializing in the Soviet Union, seemed not to be buying into my message. However, he maintains a droll sense of humor and asked me at our introductory handshake whether I had learned anything during my stay at Harvard 25 years ago. I told him I had learned to tend bar at Harvard Student Agencies and that this serves me well in my new business functions. He seemed satisfied. Email from Danny Gasman, 14 July 1999 I meant to tell you that I laughed a lot when you told me about your lecture at Harvard. They deserve even heavier doses of the truth...You should keep a diary and publish it. It could be a new edition of “Radischev’s Journey.”

Memoirs of a Millennium is an engaging and unconventional history of the last millennium, told through the lives of ten individuals across ten centuries. The characters and their compatriots are brought vividly to life by eyewitnesses both sympathetic and unsympathetic, and a colourful cast of subsequent commentators. In this insightful and entertaining book, Ted Pocock uncovers complex webs of humanity in a narrative that moves effortlessly from connection to connection across countries and continents, and from the past to the present and back again. The ten chapters explore the lives and times of the following individuals: 1000: Vladimir of Kiev (Russia) 1100: Godfrey of Bouillon (Palestine and the Holy Land) 1200: Jayavarman VII of Angkor (Cambodia) 1300: Devorguilla of Galloway (England and Scotland) 1400: Tamburlaine of Samarkand (Central Asia) 1500: Marcantonio Raimondi of Bologna (Italy) 1600: Toyotomi Hideyoshi of Osaka (Japan) 1700: Sophie Charlotte of Prussia (Germany) 1800: John Ledyard of Connecticut (USA) 1900: Yuan Shikai of Beijing (China) The scholarship is dazzling, the prose elegant and witty, the rich digressions into related themes irresistible. The successive eras come alive and the compelling text keeps the reader in thral.' Dr Helen Ibbitson Jessup

While engaging for the general reader thanks to its candid narrative of a life’s path along an unusual career that took its author to remarkable destinations in Eurasia, this book will be especially welcome to specialists in the history of the Soviet Union/Russia during the last quarter of the 20th century because of its wealth of diary entries constituting two-thirds of the text. These capture the mindset of the author and his interlocutors at all levels of society. The book also will be useful to business school students and those embarking on careers in Emerging Markets, where the challenges of maintaining one’s footing can be formidable and where the fastest moving objects in FMCG companies may be the managers themselves. For those who believe that disruptive technologies are something new, the author’s discussion of his choices among industries for employment or to perform consultancy will be enlightening.
