Description
This book describes the roots, birth and evolution of the United Nations, with particular attention to the precursor League of Nations. The main conflicts that have involved the UN through its first half century are described in the context of the Cold War and the New World Order. Emphasis is given to the impact of the United States as a principal founder member and main post-World War II hegemonic power, always keen to use the UN to further American strategic and economic interests.
