description: "The UN's second Secretary-General died mid-flight to a cease-fire — the only person to win the Nobel Peace Prize after death. His reputation splits cleanly: the West remembers a diplomatic master who built the first UN peacekeeping forces and defused crises; the Third World remembers the Congo."

# bio (long form, separated for readability)
bio: |
  Dag Hammarskjöld was born 29 July 1905, son of a Swedish prime minister, trained as an economist. At 47 he became the youngest Secretary-General the UN has ever had, taking the post in April 1953. He spent eight years trying to make the fledgling organization work — tightening operations, lifting morale, creating the first peacekeeping missions in Egypt and the Congo, flying into crises himself. His second term ended on 18 September 1961 when his plane went down en route to Congo cease-fire talks. Kennedy called him the greatest statesman of the century; others saw his Congo record as erratic, with fallout that hasn't settled.
