U Thant and the Forgotten Quest for a Just World
Thursday, Sept. 18, 7-8 p.m.
Edgehill, 2570 Independence Ave.
Free
Thant Myint-U, an award-winning writer, historian and international public servant, will speak about his new book, Peacemaker: U Thant and the Forgotten Quest for a Just World. U Thant was the Secretary-General of the United Nations from 1961-1971, and, as the first non-Westerner in that role, led the world organization at the height of the Cold War. It was a time when the newly independent nations of Asia and Africa came to the fore at the UN, and when, for a while. global peace seemed both urgent and possible. His grandson, Thant Myint-U, through research into newly declassified archives, tells in his book an entirely new story of the 1960s, including U Thant’s pivotal role in the Congo crisis, the Cuban Missile Crisis and the India-Pakistan War of 1965, his multi-year efforts to end the war in Vietnam and his failed attempt to prevent the 1967 Six-Day War.
