"Cameron Hume shows how the problems and perils arising from the war served as timely grist to the mills of the Security Council at the UN . . . This is something that well deserves to be saved from oblivion." ―The Economist
" . . . well-informed . . . an ably written diplomatic history that will be referred to for years to come by those who want to understand how the United Nations is meant to operate." ―Foreign Affairs
"This book describes how the member states operate, in good times and bad. And it does so with grace and insight." ―Gary Sick, Middle East Journal
" . . . a serious and insightful account of the changing role of the UN in the Iran-Iraq conflict . . . by an able diplomat who was directly involved." ―Shibley Telhami

Hume's authoritative account follows the transformation of the Security Council, since 1985, from a stage for acrimonious public diplomacy into a forum where governments collaborate to settle regional disputes.
