Since its inception in 1945, the United Nations has had a powerful but controversial influence on global politics. In this informative guide, Norrie MacQueen provides a clear introduction to its institutions, remit, personalities, and role in the modern world. Defending the UN from common criticisms of bureaucratic paralysis and bias towards the developed world, MacQueen argues that its limitations are due to the complex web of national interests that it seeks to reconcile, and that despite criticisms the UN has had a positive influence on the modern world.

Antonio Guterres was out of the United Nations system, getting paid by Lisbon-based ...

.What if Saddam Hussein… …hadn’t stopped with Kuwait? Project 19 might have worked. No one knows how close Iraq came to invading Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates. They wanted their money, and Saddam wanted revenge. In a world where the USSR ran a lend-lease program with the Iraqis, Saddam felt emboldened.

The last moments of April 9, 1865, hang in the American imagination like a painting whose colors have never truly faded. At Appomattox Court House, Robert E. Lee’s surrender to Ulysses S. Grant marked the official end of the Civil War. In schools and textbooks, this moment is often portrayed as closure—a handshake between two generals, the violence over, the country reunited at last. But beneath that image lies a deeper, more unsettling story. The end of the war did not bring peace or easy resolution. Instead, it peeled back layers of pain, exposing old wounds while carving new ones. ...
