This is the first historical biography in English to be published on Egyptian scholar-diplomat, Boutros Boutros-Ghali, the most

The first African and first Arab to occupy the post, Boutros-Ghaliheld the office in the momentous five post-Cold War years
(1992-1996), massively expanding UN peacekeeping and leading intellectual debates on development, democratisation, and
uman rights. He had earlier been a key architect of the Egypt-srael peace treaty as Egypt’s Minister of State for Foreign Affairs
