For more than forty years of service at the United Nations - the last ten as Secretary-General - Kofi Annan was at the center of the significant geopolitical events of our time. As much a memoir as a guide to global order, INTERVENTIONS provides a unique perspective on global diplomacy during one of the most tumultuous periods in UN history. With fluency and direct writing, Annan reflects on the highs and lows of his years at the UN: from diplomacy during critical times such as Kosovo, Lebanon, and Israel-Palestine to fierce battles over the war in Iraq and the creation of the emblematic principle of the Responsibility to Protect. He is exceptionally candid about the Organization's failed attempts, particularly in Rwanda, Bosnia, and Darfur. Ultimately, Annan shows readers a world where solutions are available if we have the will and courage to implement them.
