Keeping the Peace and Changing the World: My Forty Years with the United Nations
Author: Bernt Bernander
Publisher:
ISBN: 9781478703693
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 374
Book Description
A breach of international law was perpetrated in the name of the United Nations when the United States and the United Kingdom for thirteen years pursued a policy of total sanctions against the people of Iraq under Saddam Hussein and then launched a military attack against the country. The misuse of the UN machinery by the great powers for their own purposes, the writer says, is evidence among others of the growing pains that the world organization has experienced since its creation some 50 years ago and that are still with us. In the political area, its promising beginnings have only exceptionally met the expectations of our generation. In a highly personalized memoir Bernander tells of his boyhood in Zimbabwe, his student years in Gothenburg, Sweden, of people he has met and of his experiences in the service of the United Nations. These accounts, expressing at times controversial viewpoints, are interlaced with reporting from his stint as foreign editor of a Gothenburg daily 1958-62 and with essay type features.

Publisher: Basic Books
ISBN: 0786729708
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 144
Book Description
In Act of Creation, Stephen C. Schlesinger tells a pivotal and little-known story of how Secretary of State Edward Stettinius and the new American President, Harry Truman, picked up the pieces of the faltering campaign initiated by Franklin Roosevelt to create a "United Nations." Using secret agents, financial resources, and their unrivaled position of power, they overcame the intrigues of Stalin, the reservations of wartime allies like Winston Churchill, the discontent of smaller states, and a skeptical press corps to found the United Nations. The author reveals how the UN nearly collapsed several times during the conference over questions of which states should have power, who should be admitted, and how authority should be divided among its branches. By shedding new light on leading participants like John Foster Dulles, John F. Kennedy, Adlai Stevenson, Nelson Rockefeller, and E. B White, Act of Creation provides a fascinating tale of twentieth-century history not to be missed.

On the seventy-fifth anniversary of the United Nations, the world has faced its biggest shared test since the Second World War in the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic.
