| Summary |
"This is the memoir of Jamsheed Marker, Personal Representative of the Secretary General of the United Nations for East Timor, who was responsible for keeping the United Nations' and Kofi Annan's ideals at the forefront of the East Timor negotiations between Portugal and Indonesia. He tells the story, including all of the setbacks, false hopes, violent failures and glimmers of hope, of the United Nations' involvement that brought about the international agreements enabling East Timor to go from being a colony to being an independent, democratic nation."--BOOK JACKET |
