For the past sixty years, they have touted this accident as resulting from foul play. In the 1962 investigations, they ruled out the statements from the indigenous population as being inaccurate and politically motivated. In more recent investigations, they have re-introduced these same witnesses and their statements to bolster the theory that Hammarskjöld's death was because of foul play.\u003cbr\u003eHowever, this accident occurred at the height of the Cold War. Hammarskjöld and the United Nations were not popular among many organisations, nations or individuals, yet he was very popular with the indigenous races because of his support for decolonisation. This sparked off an investigation that has lasted sixty years and has become one of the biggest 'who-dunnit' mysteries in history, but how much longer can it last?\u003cbr\u003eThe Cold War has been used to bolster a case for foul play, but have they turned what was a tragic accident into an assassination?\u003cbr\u003eThis mystery may now be over. But will the United Nations and the rest of the world see it that way?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 286\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.6 x 9.21 x 6.14 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e May 08, 2021\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42731831033919,"sku":"9798805365011","price":18.02,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/dhl-adrianne.myshopify.com\/products\/the-death-of-dag-hammarskjold-how-the-cold-war-turned-an-accident-into-an-assassination-paperback","provider":"BBB","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
