註釋"The author goes on to describe the partition of the Indian subcontinent which turned millions of people into refugees. He himself was among those who migrated to Pakistan bringing along hopes to serve his new homeland. With six years of government service during British rule, and seven with the giant Tata Steel Co., he started afresh with the Remingtons in Lahore, where he worked for a year. He then moved to the US and worked with the UN rising to the top executive level. He brings out the unique character of the UN civil service and its 'invisible powers', and gives a fascinating, insider's description of UN practices and operations, both at the headquarters and out in UN field missions while visiting many countries of South and East Asia, the Middle East, and Africa." "The book ends with a portrayal of the pleasures and travails of retirement, in the life of an Asian immigrant to the West."--BOOK JACKET.
