Alfred Nobel: A Life from Beginning to End - Paperback

by Hourly History (Author)

Discover the remarkable life of Alfred Nobel...
Alfred Nobel began his career as a distinguished inventor, but his inventions often failed to bring him the peace of mind that he craved. One invention in particular-explosive dynamite-left him full of regret. He knew that it wouldn't be long before his creation would be used to hurt others, and for this, he felt awful. As part of his final act in life, he would seek to vindicate himself as well as the rest of the world as he pursued the establishment of what would become the Nobel Prize. This is the story of the man who brought us that prize and so much more, Alfred Nobel.
