The United Nations: A Handbook on the New World Organization

The book is a hardcover edition with noticeable wear, particularly at the spine, which shows some fraying. There is no dust jacket present. It is marked as an ex-library copy from the Spokane Public Library, which is evident from the library's perforation on the title and copyright pages. Despite these conditions, the pages remain intact and legible.

This is "The United Nations: A Handbook on the New World Organization" by Louis Dolivet, published by Farrar, Straus and Company in New York, 1946. This specific copy is a second printing from November 1946, following its initial release in September of the same year. The book provides an insightful exploration of the United Nations shortly after its inception, reflecting Dolivet's expertise in international relations. The preface by Trygve Lie, the first Secretary-General of the United Nations, adds significant historical value. This edition is notable for being an early examination of the UN, making it a valuable resource for historians and political scholars. The book is ex-library, with markings from the Spokane Public Library. It lacks a dust jacket, and the hardcover shows signs of shelf wear, particularly at the spine. Despite the wear, this copy remains a significant piece for collectors interested in post-war international politics.
