Reviews
Wartime Origins and the Future United Nations was published on the 70th anniversary of the April 1945 San Francisco Conference that adopted the Charter of the United Nations. The editors of the book have put together a 'collection of essays for studying and teaching international relations' as they were clearly 'persuaded that a more thorough consideration of wartime history could help inform the study and practice of the future United Nations and of international relations more generally'. -Georgios Kostakos, PhD, LIFE Climate Action Sector Coordinator, NEEMO EEIG,Brussels, Belgium
