United Nations, Divided World

A fast-paced examination of the need for, and role of, the United Nations today amidst the global crises of the nuclear arms race and economic development.

Written in a popular style for the concerned citizen, this book offers an objective view of the United Nations -- what it has done and some compelling recommendations on what it must do if humanity is to survive. Canada's "bridge building" role is outlined both in terms of our commitment to the UN and how we are viewed by its major groupings. The appendices provide thumbnail historical and geographical overviews of the UN system.
