Recenzje

'This book is a fine example of the textbook genre - it is clear, accessible, and informative. Moreover it contains enough of the author's own insights and comments to encourage further reading. The section on Peacekeeping is especially timely and relevant. United Nations in the Contemporary World will, I am sure, be a worthy addition to many student reading list.' - Contemporary British History
