Summary: To Create a new World? American Presidents and the UN
Comment: This cholarly work, written by John Moore and Jerry Pubantz is a well-written book on UN-US relations that readers will find informative and challenging. It is at the same time a comprehensive history of the UN, an analysis of the competing trends of "realism" and "moralism" that always affect U.S. diplomacy, and also a story of the relationship of each American President with the UN. It is in this latter category that the writers develop their underlying theme: Whatever critiques flow from U.S. Senators or pundits, however the UN is marginalized in this country's political rhetoric, Presidents and the UN have been and will continue to be irrevocably yoked. At the same time, the book, unlike so many works on the UN, is neither sentimental on the one hand nor dismissive on the other. Also unlike so many studies of the UN, it is certainly not boring. The authors, well aware of the literature on the topic, use memoirs, Presidential speeches, UN documents, and other primary sources to develop a compelling narrative. This book would be perfect for advanced college undergraduates, and should be well received by any reader interested in the UN or in America's role in the world. I give it very high marks.
