"The Parliament of Man "is the first definitive history of the
United Nations, from one of America's greatest living historians.
Distinguished scholar Paul Kennedy, author of the bestselling "The
Rise and Fall of Great Powers," gives us a thorough and timely
account that explains the UN's roots and functions while also
casting an objective eye on its effectiveness and its prospects for
success in meeting the challenges that lie ahead. Kennedy shows the
UN for what it is: fallible, human-based, often dependent on the
whims of powerful national governments or the foibles of individual
administrators--yet also utterly indispensable. With his insightful
grasp of six decades of global history, Kennedy convincingly argues
that "it is difficult to imagine how much more riven and ruinous
our world of six billion people would be if there had been no UN."
