Dear Peace Podcast Friends, March 19, 2024

Thank you for celebrating Robert Muller’s 101st birthday and viewing our PeacePodcast.org #125. Thanks to you last week we had close to 700 views. This is our best one week record to date.

Let’s celebrate with Prophet – The Hatmakers Son*, Robert Muller’s biography, the vivid story of Robert, a man who lived through the atrocities of World War II and then dedicated his life to peace. Author, Douglas Gillies brings to life, his remarkable achievements and astounding story of a great global citizen.

During his 100 birthday in 2023, we held a monthly zoom book club to savor Robert’s development from UN intern to the Assistant Secretary-General. We explored his philosophy, as well as the early development of the United Nations. To bring this book alive, the monthly discussions were led by people intimately familiar with Robert and his work, including his wife, Barbara Gaughen-Muller, the author, Douglas Gillies, and the Hon. Douglas Roche, O.C., former Canadian Senator, parliamentarian, diplomat, author, and long-time friend and associate of Robert and his peace work.

Recordings of PROPHET the Hatmaker’s Son are now available in the PeacePodcast.org Blog and on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tpV-5ZyA8DA

Robert Muller experienced the devastation of two World Wars. One night while standing in a dark battle field weeping for all the young people whose lives had been squandered, he swore that he would devote his life to peace. Robert left everything behind and joined the UN in its third year and spent the next 40 years following his dream for a world at peace. He never gave up. His optimism led him to became known as a Prophet of Hope.

This book is a treasure-chest of largely unknown events based on extensive interviews with Robert.

Prophet is a reminder to every reader why war does not work– and offers a path to a better way.” – Mary Manin Morrissey, author of Building Your Field of Dreams
