Summary:
“As America tries to deal with the consequences of its misfired Iraq
expedition and the host of other challenges lurking in a murky
future, this book will sharpen our thoughts on the uses and misuses
of the UN and where it fits into Washington policies. The authors
suggest an approach and specific policy elements that merit serious
attention, even as they make clear they do not expect the UN will be
any kind of panacea.” —Morton Abramowitz, Senior Fellow at The
Century Foundation By the same authors: The Third Try: can the UN

reinvent itself to stand for something meaningful. An extremely

Five stars.” —Tony O’Loughlin, Australian Bookseller & Publisher,
