Kofi Annan: Africa's 'Big Men' Losing to Rule of Law
Sixth and I Historic Synagogue - Sixth & I
In
Interventions: A Life in War and Peace, the first sub-Saharan African to hold
the position of Secretary-General tells the story of his mission through the
prism of some of the most consequential crises he confronted—and the way they
illustrate the wider consequences of the challenges facing the global community
of nations.

After 40 years
of service at the United Nations, Annan shares his experiences during the
terrorist attacks of September 11; the American invasions of Iraq and
Afghanistan; the war between Israel, Hezbollah, and Lebanon; the brutal
conflicts of Somalia, Rwanda, and Bosnia; and the geopolitical transformations
following the end of the Cold War.

Interventions
offers a deep understanding of the forces transforming our world, the
calamitous cost of conflict, and the still-great promise of global cooperation
in fighting poverty and disease. Annan is in conversation with novelist
and journalist David Ignatius.
