A €œcandid, courageous, and unsparing memoir€ (The New York Review of Books) of post€“Cold War politics and global statecraft

Written with eloquence and unprecedented candor, Interventions is the story of Kofi Annan€s remarkable time at the center of the world stage. After forty years of service at the United Nations, Annan€"who received the Nobel Peace Prize in 2001€"shares his unique experiences during the terrorist attacks of September 11; the American invasions of Iraq and Afghanistan; the war between Israel, Hizbollah, and Lebanon; the brutal conflicts of Somalia, Rwanda, and Bosnia; and the geopolitical transformations following the end of the Cold War. A personal biography of global statecraft, Interventions is as much a memoir as a guide to world order€"past, present, and future.
