A Life in Peace and War
by Brian Urquhart
The autobiography of Brian Urquhart, whose life for the first 40 years of the United Nations was more or less synonymous with that of the organization. He joined it before it really existed, in 1945, as a very young British soldier. He was there right from the beginning, and was particularly involved in the creation and running of UN peacekeeping.
