Alfred Nobel, Bertha von Suttner
== Nobel - A Biography of Alfred Nobel, by Nicholas Halasz, 1959 ===
Found used, for 20 cents. Mostly interesting because I learned about Bertha (Kinsky) von Suttner from it.
Alfred Nobel (1833-1896) was expanded his father Immanuel's explosives business to a worldwide consortium. He invented dynamite in 1867.
