Synopsis
As President Jimmy Carter, 2002 Nobel Peace Prize winner, writes in his foreword, "Many of the heroes of peace who speak to us in these pages have spoken far more vibrantly in their deeds, motivated by this spirit. As we have found inspiration in their work for peace, so may we find inspiration in their 'Words of Peace.'"Mother Teresa, Albert Schweitzer, Archbishop Desmond Tutu, Aung San Suu Kyi, Nelson Mandela, Elie Wiesel, Yitzhak Rabin, and 50 more Nobel Peace Prize winners give significant and moving perspectives on such themes as the Bonds of Humanity, Faith and Hope, the Tragedy of War, Violence and Non-violence, Human Rights, Politics and Leadership, and of course, Peace.
