Klappentext Created in 1919! the League of Nations proved to be a training ground for the United Nations and the countless other organizations! both governmental and non-governmental! which now surround us. Just what the League of Nations was able to do during its brief but hectic career is summed up in this book. The dictionary section contains several hundred cross-referenced entries on its founders and supporters! its rather small staff and secretariat! the various subordinate or related organizations! and their overwhelming tasks. The historical background is described in the introduction and plotted year by year in the chronology while the bibliography points to further reading.
