"In a striking series of colour photographs, Adam Bartos affirms the beauty of the UN's modern architecture while capturing the wear and tear of an idealism thwarted by decades of diplomatic compromise. The accompanying text, written with characteristic wit and acuity by Christopher Hitchens, explores the themes of Utopia and the limits of governmental good intentions."--Jacket.
