Nobel Lectures in Peace, Vol 5 (1981-1990) (Nobel Lectures, Including Presentation Speeches and Laureate)

The last decade of the 20th century is already promising to be as dramatic as any decade before. The chances of global peace seem stronger now than at any time since 1900 and the people and organizations that have contributed most towards this progress are recognized by the Norwegian Nobel Committee. The Nobel Peace prizewinners from the period 1981 - 1990 include men, women and organizations whose principles, dedication and diligence continue to shape history. These volumes are collections of the Nobel lectures delivered by the prizewinners, together with their biographies, portraits and presentation speeches by representatives of the Norwegian Nobel committee for the period 1981 - 1990. Each Nobel lecture is based on the work that won the laureate his prize. New biographical data on the laureates, since they were awarded the Nobel prize, is also included.
