The Politics of World Federation
By Joseph P. Baratta

Volume I - United Nations, UN Reform, Atomic Control
This volume traces the influence of a generation of internationalists on policy, particularly on Winston Churchill's proposal of Anglo-French union of June 16, 1940, deliberations in the U.S. State Department on the shape of a postwar international security organization until October 1943, the Baruch plan of the international control of atomic energy in 1946, and early efforts at UN reform.

Volume II - From World Federalism to Global Governance
Baratta contends that the coming of the Cold War by 1947 was a principal explanation for the immediate failure of the world federalists. The historic opportunity for so fundamental an innovation in international relations as the establishment of even a limited world federation had passed, but for the next few years there was vigorous and deep political thinking about the continued prospect of war.
