The Council on Foreign Relations Arthur Ross Book Award is the largest U.S. award for a book on international affairs. It was endowed by Arthur Ross in 2001 to honor a non-fiction work from any recent year, in English or in translation, which merits special attention for its analysis of important events, its contribution to solving pressing political or economic problems, or its impact in galvanizing new thinking about the way long-standing issues of international concern are viewed.
The winner of the award will receive $10,000.
