### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Nice, short overview of the UN, its structure, and its actions
  

*by J***N on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on May 27, 2012*

The title says it all -- this book's a short summary of the history behind the UN, the structure of the UN, the challenges facing it, and the avenues for future reform. It's a reasonably short read, although not quite one to breeze through, acronym-laden as it is (pretty much by necessity, given how the UN works).As the author acknowledges, he's writing the book as a UN apologist. Yet at the same time, he doesn't hesitate to discuss the many times and ways the UN's fallen short of its original lofty goals. I tend to think it won't change many people's minds about the value or futility of the UN (it doesn't seem to have been written with an explicit goal of that sort), but at least it'll leave people better informed as to what the UN does and doesn't do, effectively and incompetently.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    short, systematic and easy to read
  

*by S***U on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on June 6, 2016*

The book is very easy go read. I bought it less than 24 hours ago and I have finished it.It is very systematic. The topic order is well-selected.Although it is a short introduction, it covers all fundamental areas related to the structure and the functions of the UN.Another aspect which made me give 5 star is that the topics are professionally explained from a historic- perspective.I would strongly recommend this book to the student interested in one of the topics (IR, UN, human rights, environment etc.)An updated version of the book would include the development since 2007.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Informative reading
  

*by B***. on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on May 17, 2014*

I feel better informed about UN and its difficulties, and that was the reason for me to buy the book, so great job
