Cappelens Forlag AS in connection with the Nobel Peace Prize centenary in 2001. After an opening article about Alfred Nobel, the history of the Norwegian Nobel Committee, The Norwegian Nobel Institute and the development of the Peace Prize, a chronological presentation of the Peace Prize Laureates from 1901-2000 follows. Each Prize Laureate is presented through a short biography, the reasons for the Nobel Committee's choice, international reactions to the choice of winner and reflections on the impact of the year's award. Excerpts from the Laureate's speech or Nobel lecture are given. The presentation is divided into seven main parts each of which opens with an historical survey of the world's situation, the economical or political aspects dominating society, or special events characterising the period. The articles set the Peace Prizes in a broader context. The book ends with an essay on the laureates' ideas of peacemaking: Roads to peace.
