Abstract
THE office of the Secretary-General has always been a central focus of those who have studied the structure and politics of the United Nations. Recently a number of studies have appeared which concern this office, and it is on some of the more important and general of these that this review will concentrate. It !shoiild be noted that two of the studies (those by Barros and Cox) do not specifically center on the office of the UN SecretaryGeneral, but at the same time they say a great deal about it. Barros' book concentrates on a particular Secretary-General of the League of Nations, but it seeks to clarify the background of the UN office and to generalize about the political role of both the League and UN Secretaries-General. Cox's article focuses on ;the executive officers of all international organizations, but in so doing makes numerous specific and general points Which are relevant to the UN executive head.
