The Real Nobel Peace Prize / A Squandered Opportunity to Abolish War

The main obstacle to global peace is the common belief that it is impossible  

His five prizes should serve "the greatest benefit of mankind", but the peace prize Swedish inventor Alfred Nobel had in mind landed far from its intended purpose – to free all nations from the deadly war dance they are trapped in. 

We are at a tipping point in world history where we really need Nobel and his visionary plan for world peace by co-operation and disarmament instead of endless investment in death and destruction. If weapons had been the solution, we would have had peace long ago.

In The Real Nobel Peace Prize, Fredrik S. Heffermehl reveals the secrets of the award committee´s internal archives. His unprecedented study of nominations tucked away in a cellar in Oslo, brings to light the forgotten luminaries who were entitled to receive Nobel glory. These people and their ideas are urgently needed to rescue us from the scourge of war – and help us chart the road to true peace in our time.
