Sommario/riassunto: | ""The authors have cajoled, intrigued, or reassured their 73 'voices' into telling a fascinating story of the UN and its institutions, which is also a story of 73 individual lives, of women and men... with their own complicated histories of emigration and education, family relationships and professional choices, hopes and successes."" -- from the Foreword by Emma Rothschild""Far from being a distant bureaucracy, the UN is composed of individuals who are reshaped by vital experiences.
