Preface<br >Reviewing the contents of this volume, prepared during the spring and<br >summer of 1991, the editors find vivid evidence that this has been an<br >extraordinary year--for the world and for the world organization.<br > For more than half a year, the world s attention was focused on the<br >tiny nation of Kuwait and on a drama of war and diplomacy unlike any<br >we have seen before.
