Untold: The Real Story of the United Nations in Peace and War

By Ian Williams

Book Overview

UNtold is a provocative, engaging exploration of the United Nations, including its history and how it functions. This is a "warts and all" look at a controversial institution that over 70 years has variously evoked respect, indifference, and outrage from the US media. The author and illustrator have plenty of personal experience with the UN at all levels and through their concise, informative text and whimsical cartoons, they describe how the organization is supposed to work, how it actually behaves, and why there is a difference UNtold lets readers in on the quirks and mysteries of international diplomacy and global decision-making. Delightfully funny and irreverent, the message is that this vital body really can represent "We the peoples of the world." The book has something to offer everyone, from high school and college students involved in model UNs to secretaries of state and senior diplomats.
