The story of the boy-king, buried in splendour at the height of Egyptian civilization; the determined quest for his tomb by Howard Carter & Lord Carnarvon; the unforeseen riches eventually revealed
- these are important events in the history of archaeology. However, despite the publicity at the time of the discovery & since

From the killing fields of Rwanda & Srebrenica a decade ago to those of Darfur today, the United Nations has repeatedly failed to confront genocide. This is evinced, Le Bor maintains, in a May 1995 document from Yasushi Akashi, the most senior UN official in the field during the Yugoslav wars, in which he refused to authorize air strikes against the Serbs for fear they would `weaken` Milosevic. More recently, in 2003, urgent reports from UN officials in the Sudan detailing atrocities from Darfur were ignored for a year because they were politically inconvenient. This book is the first to examine in detail the crucial role of the Secretariat, its relationship with the Security Council, & the failure of UN officials themselves to confront genocide. Le Bor argues the UN must return to its founding principles, take a moral stand & set the agenda of the Security Council instead of merely following the lead of the great powers. Based on dozens of first-hand interviews with UN officials, current & former, & such international statesmen & women as Madeleine Albright, Richard Holbrooke, Douglas Hurd, & David Owen, this book will be much discussed as a new Secretary General is appointed. ...
