Synopsis

Roger Lipsey has produced a comprehensive, definitive, and timely biography of Dag Hammarskjöld, the second United Nations secretary, a man who, after his mysterious death, was described by U.S. president John F. Kennedy as 'the greatest statesman of our century', and the only person to be awarded a Nobel Peace Prize posthumously. Lipsey's biography is based on extensive use of new material, archival and personal letters, and recent scholarship. As such, Hammarskjöld: A Life provides new insights into the life and mind of this great man, for those who know his legacy and those who are meeting him for the first time.
