Prominent NPR journalist Linda Fasulo’s guide to the United Nations has established a reputation as the most lively, authoritative, and insightful book on its subject.

Thoroughly revised and updated, with many new profiles and interviews with the organization’s current diplomats, this edition remains an indispensable resource for anyone wishing to understand the role and structure of the UN.
