Drawing on unprecedented access to the Norwegian Nobel Institute's vast archive, it offers a gripping account of 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. It reveals 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. Despite all that has been written about the Nobel Peace Prize, this is the first-ever account written by a prominent insider in the Nobel system. 650 0 $a Nobel Prizes. 650 0 $a Nobel Prizes $x History. 650 0 $a Peace $x Awards. 650 0 $a Peace-building. 650 0 $a Nobel Prize winners $x History. 941 $a 4 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20210721014822.0 952 $l UQAX771 $d 20200319010226.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20200303021313.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20191207010130.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=13255F6E17F611EAB200623997128E48 994 $a C0 $b IOUInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
