Description
Extraordinary in its detail, this year-by-year account chronicles the tenure of Secretary-General Kurt Waldheim as he struggled to lead the United Nations through the veritable diplomatic minefield of the Vietnam conflict. Includes a narrative overview which highlights Waldheim's strengths while making clear why his unprecedented bid for a third term at the UN's helm ended in failure.
