Who Killed Hammarskjold?: The Un, the Cold War and White Supremacy in Africa

Meer over het boek

The mysterious death of Dag Hammarskjold and his UN team in a 1961 plane crash in Northern Rhodesia remains a significant unsolved case with political implications. Hammarskjold was on a peace mission to the Congo when his aircraft went down, leading to widespread suspicions of sabotage involving various governments and multinational corporations. Notably, British High Commissioner Lord Alport's strange insistence that Hammarskjold had flown elsewhere delayed the search for the wreckage, which was only discovered fifteen hours later.
