'The world's most prestigious prize' : the inside story of the Nobel Peace Prize

Lundestad, Geir, 1945- author

Overview

An insider account of the Nobel Peace Prize drawing on access to the Norwegian Nobel Institute's vast archive, this book examines the founding of the prize, as well as its highs and lows, triumphs and disasters, over the last one-hundred-and-twenty years. But more than that, the book also draws on the author's unique insight during his twenty-five years as Director of the Norwegian Nobel Institute and Secretary of the Norwegian Nobel Committee, revealing the real story of all the laureates of that period--some of them among the most controversial in the history of the prize (Gorbachev, Arafat, Peres and Rabin, Mandela and De Klerk, Obama, and Liu Xiaobo)--and exactly why they came to receive the prize.
