This is the first study of WHO for many years, and the author's familiarity with it from the inside and his practice of medicine enable him to analyse the organisation from different angles. Starting with the crisis of confidence in the UN, he examines the influence of political and other factors on WHO's effectiveness in its efforts to achieve universal membership, to evolve a workable, decentralised structure, and especially to eradicate (or at least control) malaria.
