An interesting old article.
Anyway, here's a short biography, and an Online News Focus from the PBS.
I remember reading an article in Time (I think) which was mostly a fluff piece, describing his family life and personality. Still, it made him out to be quite extraordinary, almost saintly.

Incidentally, he has a white Swedish wife. That's particularly appropriate for the UN (and perhaps one more reason the far right hates it).
