    Content: An account of the enthusiastic effort to establish a home for the fledgling United Nations at the end of World War II. The author creates a powerful sense of suspense as she describes the intense competition among boosters from New York, Boston, Philadelphia, and even the Black Hills of South Dakota. In lively prose, she captures the contradictory visions of the "Capital of the World" that persisted from beginning to end. This book tells the dramatic, surprising, and at times comic story of hometown promoters in pursuit of an extraordinary prize and the diplomats who struggled with the balance of power at a pivotal moment in history.
