The book reinterprets the role of the UN during the Congo crisis
from 1960 to 1964, presenting a multidimensional view of the
organisation. Through an examination of the Anglo-American
relationship, the book reveals how the UN helped position this
event as a lightning rod in debates about how decolonisation
interacted with the Cold War. By examining the ways in which the
various dimensions of the UN came into play in Anglo-American
considerations of how to handle the Congo crisis, the book reveals
how the Congo debate reverberated in wider ideological struggles
about how decolonisation evolved and what the role of the UN would
be in managing this process. The UN became a central battle ground
for ideas and visions of world order; as the newly-independent
African and Asian states sought to redress the inequalities created
by colonialism, the US and UK sought to maintain the status quo,
while the Secretary-General Dag Hammarskjoeld tried to reconcile
these two contrasting views. -- .
