"Life only demands from you the strength you possess. Only one feat is possible — not to have run away."
– Dag Hammarskjold
About Dag Hammarskjold
Dag Hammarskjold, the diplomat who strengthened the United Nations' peacekeeping mission, was born in Sweden in 1905. He followed his father's footsteps into national government, where he coined the term "planned economy" before becoming a delegate to the U.N. and a two-time secretary-general. He negotiated the release of Americans captured by the Chinese in the Korean War, worked to resolve the Suez Canal crisis, and was on a mission to the Congo when his plane crashed in 1961, killing all aboard. |
