The tomb of Tutankhamun, with its treasures, has exerted a hold over the popular imagination ever since its discovery in 1922. This book is a detailed & comprehensive account of this great archaeological discovery. 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
- made more intriguing by the linking of Carnarvon`s early death with the legend of the pharoah`s curse
- it remains a story only partly told. Carter never produced a complete account of his excavations. The Tutankhamun exhibitions of the 1960`s & 1970`s generated a spate of books but none added significantly to what Carter had already published about the tomb. This book is a revealing account of the subject.

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. ...
