520 1 $a"In The Best Intentions, Traub recounts the dramatically entwined history of Annan, the United Nations, and American foreign policy from 1992 to the present. In Annan he sees a conscientious idealist given too little credit for advancing causes such as humanitarian intervention, and an honest broker crushed between American conservatives and their Third World opponents - but also a UN careerist who has absorbed its stultifying culture and cannot, in the end, fully escape its limitations."--BOOK JACKET.
