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

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 U.S. media. The author and illustrator bring their personal experience with the UN at all levels to the concise, informative text and whimsical cartoons, describing how the organization is supposed to work, how it actually behaves, and why there s a difference! UNtold reveals the quirks and mysteries of international diplomacy and global decision-making. Delightfully funny and irreverent, the message is that this vital body really represents We the peoples of the world. "
