Kissinger, while accepting the award, did not travel to Norway for the ceremony and later tried in vain to return the prize. Internal documents released in 2023 showed the then committee gave the award in the full knowledge the Vietnam War was unlikely to end any time soon.
According to Lundestad, it may be because the committee did not want to offend Norway’s close ally Britain, the former colonial power in India, or because the politics of Gandhi may have been perceived as too “foreign” or “anti-modern” by members of a Europe-centric committee.
