The United Nations' Top Job: A Close Look at the Work of Eight Secretaries General - Paperback
by Lucia Mouat (Author)
Despite limited legal power, the job of the United Nations secretary-general has evolved into that of an often-effective global leader and mediator. When the Security Council is blocked - and sometimes even when it isn't - the UN's top official has played a key role in resolving international disputes. This book looks at the varied ways that the eight secretaries-general -- from risk-takers to cautious conservatives - have used their position to pursue the common goal of a more peaceful world.
A longtime correspondent and editorial writer for the Christian Science Monitor, Lucia Mouat covered the United Nations as her last assignment. She is a member of the Council on Foreign Relations and the Academic Council on the United Nations.
