Reviews
A technically accurate, opinionated accounting of unforgettable winners and losers... Turrettini delves into the weird nebula of secrecy, dogma, politics, and pressure surrounding the Nobel Peace Prize., The author, who is unafraid to point out the shortcomings of many of her subjects, admits that Nobel left significant flexibility for interpretation: The prize should go "to the person who shall have done the most or the best work for fraternity between nations, for the abolition or reduction of standing armies and for the holding and promotion of peace congresses. 221; In addition to examining some of the "tarnished" reputations involved with the prize, the author also explores the inherent sexism in the process..., Betraying the Nobel Describes in Detail the Fallacies of Past Selections. this Is an Excellent Book., The author's argument has wide application. An urgent but evenhanded treatise that deserves a wide readership., Unni Turrettini describes in her efficient and quietly devastating account, [how] the Peace Prize soon fell to secret horse-trading, moral grandstanding and what one Norwegian parliamentarian calls 'the privatisation of foreign policy'... Turrettini provides a detailed account of how it all went wrong., The Nobel Peace Prize is perhaps the most closely held monopoly of its kind, charged by Alfred to be the 'conscience of the world.' Yet Turrettini's impeccably researched, masterfully argued case against the prize is airtight: the prize teems with invidious corruption, politicization, secrecy, opacity, and unaccountability. Hope endures that the award may someday live up to Nobel's alturistic aspirations--but only if the Peace Prize Committee hearkens to Turrettini's clarion call for reform., Impressive. Filled with extensive research and insights. Turrettini's style is clear and readable and the analysis is targeted and supported. A compelling, frightening, and worthy read., Winning the Nobel Peace Prize brings instant global acclaim. It is surely the world's most prestigious award. But in Betraying the Nobel, Norweigian author Unni Turrettini goes beyond headlines and cliches to reveal a deeper and more troubling story of how a handful of politicians in one country decide who will be honored with the Prize. Turrettini's book is a tour de force of investigative research, subtle analysis and balanced reporting. It is essential reading for any citizen who wants to understand global politics--and should be assigned for study in foreign ministries and universities around the world.
