It has understandably been overshadowed by the United Nations—that larger, more globally representative body that grew from the League and was founded on more unequivocally noble principles in the aftermath of a clear-cut victory of good over evil.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBut as the limitations of the United Nations become ever more apparent, we can look with more sympathy at the League and consider what we might learn from the endeavours of those driving this first attempt at global governmental coordination.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAs James Cotton relates in this illuminating account, a surprising number of Australians lent their talents and enthusiasm to this internationalist project, and Australian interests were prominently represented. Former Prime Minister Stanley Bruce was there, along with numerous other Australian men and women who made important contributions to international deliberations on questions of global organisation and interaction. This deeply researched and carefully realised story will recast understandings of both the League itself and the place within it of prominent interwar Australian internationalists.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe Australians at Geneva\u003c\/em\u003e examines this often-overlooked history, providing insights that are both timely and relevant in today's world.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Penguin Random House NZ","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46849992261868,"sku":"9780522878998","price":48.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/3924523482374.jpg?v=1759073082"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.live\/collections\/james-cotton.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
