PENGUIN CLASSICS INTERVENTIONS - KOFI ANNAN N...

Over forty years of service to the United Nations - the last ten as Secretary-General - Kofi
Annan has been at the centre of the major geopolitical events of our time. As much a memoir as
a guide to world order  INTERVENTIONS provides a unique  behind-the-scenes view of global
diplomacy during one of the most tumultuous periods in UN history.  With eloquence and
immediacy  Annan writes about the highs and lows of his years at the United Nations: from
shuttle-diplomacy during crises such as Kosovo  Lebanon and Israel-Palestine to the wrenching
battles over the Iraq War to the creation of the landmark Responsibility to Protect doctrine.
He is remarkably candid about the organization's failed efforts  particularly in Rwanda  Bosnia
and Darfur. Ultimately  Annan shows readers a world where solutions are available  if we have
the will and courage to see them through.
