Book Overview

As the 1990s place greater demands on the UN, this inspiring biography shows how Hammarskjold perfected the active but quiet diplomacy that proved successful in a series of seemingly hopeless situations, from the Suez Crisis to Indochina, and how he stood up for principle against the greatest powers.

A vivid portrayal of an innovative leader of our times.

Sir Brian Urquhart has written an insightful and personal biography of Hammarskjold, a man whom he worked with for years in the United Nations. Urquhart has seen the depth of Hammarskjold's character and vision and after Hammarskjold's death in 1961, Sir Brian Urquhart has portrayed the former Secretary General of the UN during some of the organization's most difficult moments as the visionary he truly was. A great read for anyone interested in discovering a truly great man of our times.
