The United Nations: A Tower of Babel by Gerald B. Winrod presents a Christian anti-internationalist attack on the United Nations, comparing the organization and its New York headquarters to the biblical Tower of Babel and arguing that its program of international political centralization threatens American sovereignty, constitutional government, and Christian civilization. Winrod traces the U.N.'s origins through wartime conferences, the Atlantic Charter, Yalta, and the San Francisco Conference, emphasizing the roles of Alger Hiss and other figures whom he associates with Communist influence. He examines alleged Soviet espionage within the organization, similarities between provisions of the U.N. Charter and the Soviet Constitution, international treaties and human-rights agreements, and the constitutional controversy surrounding the treaty-making power. Photographs of the U.N. complex and its Zeus statue reinforce his symbolic comparison between the organization and ancient Babel. Winrod ultimately calls for constitutional safeguards against international treaties overriding American law, resistance to Communist and internationalist influence, and the preservation of national independence under explicitly Christian principles.
