UN good/bad book
 
There was a discussion in here a couple of years ago about UN helicopters and wastefulness flying just to deliver stacks of copy paper....etc

Then some recommended a book about the UN's ineffectiveness "lord of the suffering?" or something like that. I can't recall the exact name of the book.

Well, I want to read that book now, anyone remember the name?

Thanks.

"Lords of poverty" by Graham Hancock is the book you migt be interested in.

There is another good book called "Emergency sex" about 3 people who worked for the UN and how they became disillusioned with the whole show. Very interesting.
