Bread and Stones is an account of successful United Nations reform by a former Executive Director of the World Food Programme. The WFP stands out as thoroughly professional and effective among the tangle of weak organizations that makes up the dysfunctional United Nations system. Based on the author's diaries, Bread and Stones give a unique 'insiders, 'warts and all' look into the inner workings of the system.

The strategies that can lead to successful reform are identified. Despite their criticisms governments give weak and inconsistent leadership.
