About this audiobook
This audiobook is narrated by a digital voice.
By reading this summary, you will discover the exceptional personality of Kofi Annan, born in 1938 in the Côte-de-l'Or, a country colonized by the British and corresponding to present-day Ghana.
You will also discover how the man who was to become the seventh Secretary General of the United Nations :
- forged his character in a family environment oscillating between tradition and progressiveness, then developed his sense of diplomacy from the college;
- invested himself, despite failures, betrayals and limitations, in the Department of Peacekeeping Operations in the service of the UN;
- took sides beyond neutrality and fought to save populations weakened by wars;
- has successfully undertaken much-needed reforms at the UN by becoming an outstanding strategist and a "warrior for peace".
Through his testimony, Kofi Annan takes us through the meanders of an organization that we imagine to be wise, healthy and well, employing generous and willing people. The reality is quite different. In the corridors and offices of the UN, rivalries, abuses of power, withholding of information and accusations go against the humanist doctrine that governs the United Nations. Are the difficulties that members of the contributing countries have in uniting for the same cause a reflection of what the UN was created against, intolerance and the inability to live together?
