The proceedings of the 1959 session of the General Assembly, wrote the correspondent of the New York Times in mid-December, will have “an important place in the history of the United Nations. Never before has the Soviet Union been so successful in imposing its views upon the Assembly. And never before has the United States . . . made such concessions to Soviet demands.”

That bland report of U.S. surrender on the East River makes real and immediate the dark prophecy of The John Franklin Letters (The Bookmailer, $2.00). Recounted in these letters—dated between 1957 and 1976— is America’s downfall at the hands of a UN-sponsored, Communist-dominated “World Authority.” Writes John Semmes Franklin: “. . . the Soviet Union . . . at last waked up to the existence of an ultimate political weapon for the destruction of the United States . . . the fatal failure of will among U.S. intellectuals and politicians when confronted with the fantasies of universal brotherhood, international civil and political authority and ‘one world.’ ”
