Description
This sweeping history traces the origins, evolution, and enduring purpose of the United Nations, placing its institutions and ideals within the broader story of twentieth- and twenty-first-century international affairs. Drawing on decades of global history, the book examines how the organization operates, why its success often depends on powerful nations and imperfect leaders, and how it has responded to war, humanitarian crises, and the demands of an increasingly interconnected world. Balanced and deeply informed, it presents the UN as both fallible and indispensable while considering whether it can meet the challenges of the future.
