Summary
In an earlier moment, the Jewish League of Nations official Albert Cohen undermined the veneer of glamour that might be associated with the work of global governance in his sardonic depiction of the League’s international civil service. Hazzard’s account of the UN particularly captured the mood of the post-war decade when The Organization Man – William Whyte’s sociological study of the arbitrary rules of corporate conformity – ruled the bestseller lists.
