“Linda Fasulo’s book will become the indispensable source on the United Nations for everyone from students to diplomats. I keep it handy on my desk.” -- Joseph S. Nye, Dean of the Kennedy School of Government, Harvard University.
"No one knows the big picture and inner workings of the UN better than Linda Fasulo. This book is a must-read for anyone interested in international affairs." --Tom Brokaw, NBC News
"This unique book combines a solid guide to the workings of the United Nations with illuminating insights from credible and serious experts.”--Barbara Crossette, former New York Times Bureau Chief at the United Nations.
"Linda's book is essential reading for diplomats, press attaches, NGOs, U.N. activists and the International Community." -- Max Stamper, Ph.D., Publisher, MaximsNews.com
"Misperceptions regarding the UN - in the United States and elsewhere - lead to misguided criticism of this invaluable organization. This book serves as a much-needed tool to educate individuals on the value of the UN.” -- The Hon. Timothy E. Wirth, President, United Nations Foundation.
“The ‘insider’ of the title is not just Fasulo,
an experienced U.N. correspondent, but also a number of frequently quoted former
U.N. diplomats and staffers, including David Malone, John Negroponte, and Mark
Malloch Brown….
“She discusses influential leaders such as
Secretary-General Kofi Annan and topics such as globalization, drug trafficking,
terrorism, and the biosphere.
“This concise, highly readable volume is an invaluable and essential source of information for general readers, report writers, and Model UN delegates.” -- Christine C. Menefee, School Library Journal.

"An interesting, accessible guide to how the United Nations functions. On first glance, a generalist’s hoped-for introduction, on second glance, a specialist’s new and valued tool...." -- Duncan McNiff, Foreign Policy Association (Editor’s Pick on www.fpa.org).
