Dubious Mandate - A Memoir of the Un in Bosnia, Summer 1995

"Coming after a shelf full of books about the Bosnian civil war by the parachutists of the press, here is something different: Philip Corwin's view of the final months of the conflict from the inner sanctum, the United Nations headquarters in Sarajevo, where he experienced the Bosnian leadership as it really was: greedy for power and money, and life-threatening."--David Binder, "New York Times "
