This 1968 first edition of Conor Cruise O’Brien’s “The United Nations Sacred Drama” offers a rare glimpse into the early years of the United Nations through the eyes of a renowned Irish diplomat and writer. O’Brien, who served as a representative for Ireland at the UN, provides an insider’s perspective on the organization’s struggles and triumphs during its formative years. With his keen intellect and sharp wit, O’Brien dissects the idealism and realpolitik that shaped the UN’s early decades, offering a nuanced and often critical analysis of the institution’s role in global affairs.
Beyond its historical significance, this book is a testament to O’Brien’s literary prowess. His prose is both incisive and eloquent, combining the precision of a diplomat with the flair of a literary master. Readers and collectors alike will appreciate the opportunity to own a well-preserved copy of this important work, which has become increasingly scarce in recent years.
