About the Book:
After 40 years, HAMMARSKJÖLD: A LIFE arrives as the definitive new biography of one of the 20th century's most enlightened leaders. In this thoroughly researched work Roger Lipsey details the political challenges and personal crises faced by Dag Hammarskjöld, second Secretary-General of the United Nations (1953-1961), and confirms without question the once-famed diplomat's eminent place in mid-20th century history.
