- Summary:
-
Well-known historian Gary Ostrower has made an exhaustive study of archival material to present this comprehensive, judicious, and often wry examination of the relations between a world power and a body of delegates representing the world. Using the administrations of ten American presidents as his chronological framework, and incorporating his intimate knowledge of similar global organizations, Ostrower analyzes all the discords and agreements between the United States and the United Nations that have shaped world history in the past half-century.
