President Bill Clinton Writes Article About Dayton Accords for Encyclopaedia Britannica
Here's something you don't see that often anymore. A signed encyclopaedia article by an "expert" on the topic. In this case, the expert is a former President of the United States.
Encyclopaedia Britannica has published a new article about the 1995 Dayton Accords written by former U.S. President Bill Clinton, the company said today. The article, about the agreement signed in Paris fourteen years ago today ending the conflict in Bosnia and Herzegovina, is now available on Britannica's Web sites.

Mr. Clinton joins four other former U.S. presidents who have written articles for the Britannica. Jimmy Carter is author of the encyclopedia's entry on the Camp David Accords of 1978, which established peace between Egypt and Israel. John F. Kennedy wrote about Oliver Ellsworth, the third U.S. chief justice. Lyndon Johnson authored part of the Britannica article on the late speaker of the U.S. House or Representatives Sam Rayburn. Herbert Hoover wrote about his brother, the naturalist Theodore Jesse Hoover.
