Peace, They Say

“Jay Nordlinger is one of America’s most versatile and pungent writers.”

Paul Johnson
Author of Modern Times, etc.

“Nordlinger offers a unique combination of depth and accuracy of knowledge with clarity and elegance of style. It is a pleasure to read sophistication without affectation.”

Bernard Lewis
Dodge Professor of Near Eastern Studies, Emeritus, Princeton University

“Few writers are well qualified to write about the world’s cultures, and none more so than Jay Nordlinger. His fascinating history of the Nobel Peace Prize is deeply researched and wittily rendered—like a crowd of contradictory characters in a Shakespeare tragedy? comedy?”

Robert Conquest
Author of The Great Terror, etc.

“Jay Nordlinger’s book is an authoritative and fair account of the most controversial of the Nobel prizes. Very readable, it sets the picture straight.”

Richard Pipes
Baird Professor of History, Emeritus, Harvard University
