Product Description
This is the first introduction to the United Nations covering the entire postwar period. It combines a history of the UN with a broader account of east-west diplomacy during the Cold War and after. Norrie MacQueen begins by looking at the formation, structure and functions of the UN. Then, within a chronological framework, he assesses its contribution to international security from the emergence of the UN's peacekeeping role in 1945-56 right through to UN operations in the 1990s in Angola, Somalia and Bosnia.

Dull topic, good book
The history of the United Nations has always stuck me as a rather dull topic. However, the author has managed to make the subject less mind-numbing and more interesting by employing a fast pace and clear writing style. If, like me, you have no option but to study this topic, then this is well worth buying.
