This library was made possible by a $6.2 million gift by the Ford Foundation in 1959. The building, a modern-style construction, was designed to host over 400.000 books with ample space. This UN Library was named in honor of Dag Hammarskjold (not to be confused with Ragnar Danneskjold!), late secretary of the United Nations. This book was the honorary publication of the UN celebrating the opening of the library. It was NOT sold to bookshops or resellers, only given to various UN members and public libraries worldwide and finding a copy for sale is a rare event.
