Interventions: A Life in War and Peace by Kofi Annan

4.0

Kofi Annan's reflections are clear and thoughtful in this book. It is difficult to read about so many failures in the United Nations and the massive amounts of life needlessly lost in the second half of the 20th century. Especially because the United Nations was created specifically to prevent such global catastrophes. Still, this book is an excellent, if dry at times, way to learn about the complex webs of international relations in our modern world. One can only hope that future leaders will be as reflective as Annan.
