Connor Cruise O'Brien, writer
Robert speaks with writer Connor Cruise O'Brien, who was former U.N. Secretary General Dag Hammarskjold's personal representative to the Congo (now Zaire) during that region's crisis in the 1960s. O'Brien opposes the idea of western intervention to aid the nation-state of Zaire. Humanitarian aid should be provided, but Zaire is no longer a viable nation, and should be allowed to disintegrate, O'Brien says.
