Abstract | Dag Hammarskjöld was a deeply spiritual and caring man. His writings in his private diary, published posthumously as Markings, reflect the life of a man dedicated to self-sacrifice in service of others. This ‘spiritual memoir’ betrays the inner turmoil of such sacrifice and his dedication to faith. It represents the private thoughts of an individual who was committed to work for others. According to Hammarskjöld himself, he inherited “a belief that no life was more satisfactory than one of selfless service to your country – or humanity” And it was to humanity that Hammarskjöld dedicated himself. He was truly a “servant of peace”. |
