The World Health Organization: A History by Marcos Cueto
The World Health Organization: A History by Marcos Cueto, Theodore Brown, and Elizabeth Fee is a book on the history of WHO. I don’t have a lot to say besides that I was annoyed by their views on Eastern Europe – the whole “buffer” between USSR and the rest of the world as we, obviously, do not matter at all.
It’s not exactly a page turner, as one can imagine, but I used it for my research. If anyone is interested in the history of WHO, then it is a good book to read.

I was going to say this wouldn’t really interest me since I have mixed feelings about the WHO… but maybe I should read it just for that reason!

That might be a good reason to read it. Maybe you will find it less boring than I did.
