KOFI ANNAN: A MAN OF PEACE IN A WORLD OF WAR
Book ID/图书代码: 08900006B05207
English Summary/英文概要: Rarely does a prominent world figure cooperate with a biographer who offers no say over the book’s contents, no prepublication examination of the manuscript, and no guarantee that the final product will present its subject in a positive light. In Kofi Annan, former Los Angeles Times foreign and diplomatic correspondent Stanley Meisler traces Annan’s unconventional rise from optimistic student to striving personnel and budget specialist in the United Nations bureaucracy to full-time manager of the world’s crises.
Kofi Annan presents a unique portrait of this widely admired leader—with his own view of events tempered and augmented by those of his allies and opponents, defenders and detractors. It is a must-read for anyone interested in diplomacy, international affairs, war and peace, and the daunting task of saving the world from the ravages of war.
Chinese Summary/中文概要: 迄今为止,几乎还没那个杰出的世界领袖与一位传记作家进行过如此的合作:对本书内容不发表意见,在本书正式出版之前不能检阅手稿,而且还不能保证最终成品以一种积极的态度呈现主题。在这本《安南传》当中,,前任《洛杉矶时报》外交事务报道记者斯坦利.梅兹勒记录了安南非同一般的发迹史:从一名热血沸腾的学生,到一个努力奋斗的个体,到联合国财政预算专家,再到处理世界危机的全职经理人。 科菲.安南从一个与众不同的角度向读者展示了一个备受世界人民敬爱的领导人。他用自己的观点调节敌对阵营相互争论的事件。对于任何对外交,国际事务,战争与和平,以及从战争中拯救世界这一艰巨任务的读者来说,本书绝对不容错过。(兼职翻译-XMM)
