About This Item
London: Weidenfeld and Nicolson, 1973.. 1st British edition. Written by the Austrian diplomat and politician who became the fourth Secretary-General of the United Nations and served two terms from 1972-1981 before it was revealed that he had lied about his wartime service with the German Wehrmacht during his 1986 campaign for the presidency of Austria. However, despite international furore, this did not prevent him from becoming the ninth President of Austria, from 1986 to 1992. The book considers the role of Austria in the new, post-war, Europe to be of exemplorary importance. "Mr Waldheim's account of the foreign political efforts which led to an arrangement with the Common Market, of the South-Tyrolean issue and the settlement eventually reached with Italy, clearly illustrates not only the possibilities enjoyed by a small neutral country within the great community of nations, but also the limitations imposed upon it." Pp.viii/230, inscribed by the author "To Douglas Stuart with all good wishes Kurt Waldheim 1.2.1973" to the reverse of the half-title page.(Douglas Stuart was the BBC journalist and broadcaster, who launched The World Tonight on Radio 4 in 1970). Maroon cloth, dustwrapper edges slightly worn but now in a removable clear protective wrap. VG/VG.
