The United Nations and the United States: The Fragile Relationship (Twayne's International History Series) - Tapa dura

Well-known historian Gary Ostrower has made an exhaustive study of archival material to present this comprehensive, judicious, and often wry examination of the relations between a world power and a body of delegates representing the world. Using the administrations of ten American presidents as his chronological framework, and incorporating his intimate knowledge of similar global organizations, Ostrower analyzes all the discords and agreements between the United States and the United Nations that have shaped world history in the past half-century.

Gary B. Ostrower has taught at Vassar College and the University of Pennsylvania, and presently holds the Margaret and Barbara Hagar Chair in the Humanities at Alfred University.
