A fascinating piece of modern Vatican and United Nations history, Paths to Peace: A Contribution — Documents of the Holy See to the International Community was compiled by the Permanent Observer Mission of the Holy See to the United Nations and published in New York in 1987.
This substantial hardcover brings together documents, addresses and messages representing the Holy See's engagement with the international community, including material associated with Pope John Paul II and the United Nations.
The book is beautifully bound in red with gold lettering and the papal emblem on the spine and retains its original photographic dust jacket featuring Pope John Paul II addressing the United Nations Assembly.
More than simply a religious text, this is an interesting primary-era reference for collectors interested in Vatican history, Catholicism, Pope John Paul II, diplomacy, international relations and the history of the United Nations.
