Simply Dag Audiobook
A little boy plays at Uppsala Castle, climbing trees and mucking in the dirt. He grows into a promising career in the Swedish government, imagining a future as Prime Minister.
But in 1953, he is handed the keys to the world.
When Dag Hammarskjöld is appointed Secretary-General of the United Nations, many expect a mere placeholder—a quiet man shuffling papers on the thirty-eighth floor. Instead, he reinvents the role with the heart of a lion, confronting Cold War tensions, apartheid, colonial greed, and some of the most volatile crises of the twentieth century.
Beneath the titles and headlines lies another story.
A man walking alone. A seeker writing poetry. An introvert navigating global danger.
Simply Dag: The Private Man in a Public—and Dangerous—Office is an intimate portrait drawn from Hammarskjöld’s own words and a creative partnership that transcends time. This memoir reveals the Dag few ever saw: brilliant, witty, tender, deeply spiritual, and calmly defiant in the face of cynicism.
Walk beside Dag through his remarkable and unexpected journeys.
