Abstract

Trygve Lie's Apologia
Friedlich, Richard | October 16, 1954 issue

add to cart   close window

The article focuses on the book "In the Cause of Peace," by Trygve Lie. It is a year and a half now since the first Secretary General of the United Nations Trygve Lie ended his seven-year career. That career ended on a decidedly low note, and assessments of his contribution to international diplomacy were generally attuned to the latest unflattering impression of him. But the intervening months have made it easier to take a more objective view. Lie's eminently readable 448-page apologia will help mightily to insure that he gets his due, though it will also reemphasize the personal shortcomings that accounted for the mistakes for which he has been rightly censured.
