Customer Reviews

A wonderful behind the scenes look at the UN.

The book begins by giving some personal information of Madeleine Albright's life and how she got into the position. Then the book moves into what the United Nations do as an organization. There is focus on peace and trying to better the world through commutation. The book explains how the United Nations brings food, shelter, and protection to countries around the world. The color photos in the book help to understand how much work the United Nations do on a daily basic. The pictures add to the well-written description of the United Nations and what Madeleine Albright does in her job. In the back of the book is a listing of dates that United Nations marks as observances as well as listings of others dealing with the United Nations.
