Interventions: A Life in War and Peace

Interventions is a candid, courageous, and unsparing memoir of post-Cold War politics and global statecraft.

Written with eloquence and unprecedented candor, this book provides a personal biography of global statecraft, offering unique insights into the world stage during terrorist attacks, invasions, brutal conflicts, and geopolitical transformations.

As the former Secretary-General of the United Nations, Kofi Annan shares his experiences and lessons learned from decades of service at the UN, including his time during the American invasions of Iraq and Afghanistan, the war between Israel, Hizbollah, and Lebanon, and the conflicts in Somalia, Rwanda, and Bosnia.

This memoir is both a guide to world order past, present, and future and a testament to the importance of diplomacy and international cooperation in resolving global crises.
