UN Reform Book on Amb. John Bolton's Reading List (PRWEB, February 21, 2006)

A new book calling for United Nations reform has attracted a surprise following among delegates to and employees of the UN, and it has now made its way onto the reading list for America's ambassador to the global institution.

The office of John Bolton, who last year was appointed by President Bush to serve as U.S. ambassador to the UN, has accepted a copy of Joe Klein's new book “Global Deception: The UN's Stealth Assault on America's Freedom”. The book made news in December when publisher World Ahead revealed that dozens of people affiliated with the UN had contacted them to request a copy.

“I'm honored that Ambassador John Bolton would agree to read a copy of my book,” says author Klein, a FrontPage Magazine columnist and New York attorney who studied at Harvard Law under Archibald Cox. “Ambassador Bolton understands that the United Nations is an institution desperately in need of reform, and I hope that he and the UN employees who have read my book will be able to continue bringing about change within the organization.”

In “Global Deception,” Klein writes that the UN's once noble ideals have been corrupted by a powerful clique of “globalists” who seek to transform the organization that Harry Truman and Winston Churchill created to serve the world's nations into a mechanism by which to govern them. This agenda, Klein asserts, has turned the UN into a coven of special interest groups and in the process pitted it against the world’s only remaining superpower, the United States.

An organization that admitted the USSR at its outset can't be said to have had noble ideals at any point.
