Chasing The Flame: Sergio Vieira de Mello and the Fight to Save the World

'Chasing the Flame' tells the life story of a remarkable man. Sergio Vieira de Mello was born in 1948, just as the post-World War II order was taking shape, and died in a terrorist attack on UN Headquarters in Iraq in 2003, just as the battle lines in the 21st century's great struggle were being drawn.
