Interventions: a life in war and peace
With 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. Drawing on his recollections of major figures from Tony Blair to George W.Bush, Yasser Arafat to Ehud Barak, Saddam Hussein to Nelson Mandela, Interventions offers a unique, behind-the-scenes view of global diplomacy during one of the most consequential eras in recent 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.
