Reviews
"The World's Most Prestigious Prize is a very good synopsis of the history of the Nobel Peace Prize, written by somebody who is obviously very committed to the prize and who has dedicated his career to serving its goals. It also contains a convincing historical analysis of the evolution of peace over the last 150 years, giving both scholars and practitioners a map of what has been achieved and what still needs to be tackled in actualizing a culture of peace." -- Erich P. Schellhammer, PhD, Royal Roads University, PEACE RESEARCH "Lundestad makes an eloquent case that the prize has a univer-sal appeal, grounded in humanitarian and nonviolent ideals on which no country or civilization holds a monopoly." -- Foreign Affairs "Informative." -- Dan Kaplan, Booklist "A fine [...] introduction to and overview of the Nobel Peace Prize, offering some insight into its workings and nature ... it also offers good insight into the changing nature of the peace movement(s) across the decades, and the different efforts to find and achieve forms of peace." -- M.A. Orthofer, Complete Review "Fascinating... a unique insight into the prize that makes compelling reading." -- Paradigm Explorer, "Lundestad makes an eloquent case that the prize has a univer-sal appeal, grounded in humanitarian and nonviolent ideals on which no country or civilization holds a monopoly." -- Foreign Affairs "Informative." -- Dan Kaplan, Booklist "A fine [...] introduction to and overview of the Nobel Peace Prize, offering some insight into its workings and nature ... it also offers good insight into the changing nature of the peace movement(s) across the decades, and the different efforts to find and achieve forms of peace." -- M.A. Orthofer, Complete Review "Fascinating... a unique insight into the prize that makes compelling reading." -- Paradigm Explorer, "Lundestad makes an eloquent case that the prize has a univer-sal appeal, grounded in humanitarian and nonviolent ideals on which no country or civilization holds a monopoly." -- Foreign Affairs "Informative." -- Dan Kaplan, Booklist "A fine [...] introduction to and overview of the Nobel Peace Prize, offering some insight into its workings and nature ... it also offers good insight into the changing nature of the peace movement(s) across the decades, and the different efforts to find and achieve forms of peace." -- M.A. Orthofer, Complete Review "This is a fascinating bookEL a unique insight into the prize that makes compelling reading." -- David Lorimer, Paradigm Explorer, "Lundestad makes an eloquent case that the prize has a univer-sal appeal, grounded in humanitarian and nonviolent ideals on which no country or civilization holds a monopoly." -- Foreign Affairs "Informative." -- Dan Kaplan, Booklist, "Lundestad makes an eloquent case that the prize has a univer-sal appeal, grounded in humanitarian and nonviolent ideals on which no country or civilization holds a monopoly." -- Foreign Affairs, "Lundestad makes an eloquent case that the prize has a univer-sal appeal, grounded in humanitarian and nonviolent ideals on which no country or civilization holds a monopoly." -- Foreign Affairs "Informative." -- Dan Kaplan, Booklist "A fine [...] introduction to and overview of the Nobel Peace Prize, offering some insight into its workings and nature ... it also offers good insight into the changing nature of the peace movement(s) across the decades, and the different efforts to find and achieve forms of peace." -- M.A. Orthofer, Complete Review, "The World's Most Prestigious Prize is a very good synopsis of the history of the Nobel Peace Prize, written by somebody who is obviously very committed to the prize and who has dedicated his career to serving its goals.

Synopsis
The first-ever account of the world's leading prize written by a prominent insider in the Nobel system., The World's Most Prestigious Prize: The Inside Story of the Nobel Peace Prize is a fascinating, insider account of the Nobel Peace Prize. 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., The World's Most Prestigious Prize: The Inside Story of the Nobel Peace Prize is a fascinating, insider account of the Nobel peace prize.
