'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 work?
