Book excerpt: Born just one year before the United Nations itself, Ban Ki-moon came of age with the world body. His earliest memories are haunted by the sound of bombs dropping on his Korean village. The six-year-old boy fled with his family, trudging for miles until the United Nations rescued them. Young Ban grew up determined to repay this lifesaving generosity. Resolved is his personal account of his decade at the helm of the organization during a period of historic turmoil and promise. Meeting challenges with a belief in the UN's mission of peace, development and human rights, he steered the world body through a volatile period. He offers a candid assessment of the people and events that shape our era and a bracing analysis of what lies ahead.
