Over forty years of service to the United Nations - the last ten as Secretary-General - Kofi Annan has been at the centre of the major events of our time. Drawing on his recollections of figures including Tony Blair, George W. Bush, Saddam Hussein and Nelson Mandela, Interventions offers a unique, behind-the-scenes view of global diplomacy during one of the most consequential eras in recent history, from the crises in Kosovo, Rwanda and Israel-Palestine to the wrenching battles over the Iraq War.
Annan embeds these events within the context of global politics, making a passionate case for a United Nations that intervenes, rather than stands by, in the face of humanitarian crisis. It is an unparalleled personal history of international statecraft.
