Book Summary
In the early 1960s, a peaceful world seemed possible. The still-young United Nations was regarded as humankindโs best hope for ending war. African and Asian nations, having recently won their freedom from colonial rule, sought influence on the world stage. At the helm of their international efforts was Secretary-General U Thant, a practising Buddhist and former schoolteacher from Burma. In Peacemaker , acclaimed historian Thant Myint-U traces his grandfatherโs integral yet forgotten roles in some of the twentieth centuryโs most critical crises: from battling white supremacist mercenaries in the Congo and mediating an end to the Cuban Missile Crisis to desperately trying to prevent the 1967 Six-Day War. Drawing on newly declassified documents, he traces U Thantโs tireless efforts to bring peace to Vietnam, create a fairer international economy, safeguard the environment and avoid a third world war. A testament to the power of hope and individual action in times of uncertainty, Peacemaker is an extraordinary chronicle of a golden age of diplomacy, and vital to a fresh understanding of our world today.
