When Dag Hammarskjöld took over the post as Secretary-General of the United Nations, he was greeted with the words: Welcome ... to the most impossible job on this Earth.

Dag Hammarskjöld made the impossible job possible. The historian and biographer Henrik Berggren tells the amazing story of a life that was characterized by duty and humanism but also by a great loneliness. In this captivating and concise biography, Dag Hammarskjöld the man and the diplomat emerges in a new and vivid way.
