First edition of Eleanor Roosevelt's celebration of the United Nations, written with Regina Tor two years before her death by the woman who had chaired the UN Commission on Human Rights and guided the Universal Declaration of Human Rights to its adoption in 1948. Octavo, original cloth. Boldly signed by both Eleanor Roosevelt and Regina Tor opposite the half-title page. Near fine in a very good dust jacket. Roosevelt and Tor celebrate the role of the UN as both an instrument for preserving peace, and as an agency for improving the health, education and productivity of people around the world.
