- catalog abstract ""Extraordinary in its detail, this year-by-year account chronicles the tenure of Secretary-General Kurt Waldheim as he struggled to lead the United Nations through the veritable diplomatic minefield of the Vietnam conflict and officiated over an increasingly difficult peace between the superpowers. He became secretary-general in a time of great challenge, presiding over an organization beset by financial crisis and doubt and criticism of even its longtime supporters. Included in The United Nations under Kurt Waldheim are both a chronology of Waldheim's decade-long reign, cataloging international events of enduring importance, and a narrative overview that highlights Waldheim's strengths while making clear why his unprecedented bid for a third term at the UN's helm ended in failure."--Jacket.".
