Best summary available on the UN, Feb 21 1998
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Basic Facts About the United Nations (Paperback)
The chief cause of opposition to the United Nations is lack of knowledge about what it is, what it does, what it can do and what it cannot do. If I were to pick one volume to help both supporters and critics understand what the United Nations is, this book would be it.

Useful overview of the UN, Feb 10 2009
By Nathan Beauchamp "ConsumerAdvocate" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Basic Facts about the United Nations (Paperback)
This is a fairly quick read that covers the major details of the UN. It talks about hot it was founded, the departments, major policy changes and decisions, and the role it took in world affairs before the new millennium. It does feel a bit dated at this point, as it was written pre 9-11 and has not been updated. Still, it is a useful introduction to the UN and worth a read if that topic interests you and you have little to no other exposure. Not recommended for anyone already a student of International Relations. The key word in the title is "Basic."
