Unni Turrettini: Betraying the Nobel: Secrets, Corruption, and the World's Most Prestigious PrizeUnni wrote The Mystery of the Lone Wolf Killer and comes back with a powerful shot across the bow of the Nobel Peace Prize: BETRAYING THE NOBEL!
I was honored to write a blurb for the book, saying "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."

Why Alfred Nobel might not object to Donald Trump winning the Peace Prize
The worst Nobel Peace Prize winner in history...
What can be done to restore Alfred's noble vision?
She and I are in complete resonance when it comes to the tarnish on the Nobel. The peace prize is as distorted from Alfred's original intentions as are the science prizes.
It's mesmerizing to watch Unni mix an attorney's keen analytical mentality with a journalist's powerful observation skill to illuminate the flaws with the Peace Prize. All along she mixes in humor and even Alfred's love-life, which had been more myserteous to me than why the committee keeps nominations sealed for a half century...
