In 1973, Henry Kissinger and North Vietnam's Le Duc Tho shared the award for negotiating a cease-fire that ended U.S. involvement in the Vietnam War--despite Kissinger's role in the secret bombing of Cambodia.

This would not be the first time the Nobel Peace Prize was premature. Henry Kissinger and Le Duc Tho won the award in 1973, but the fighting in Vietnam continued for two more years.
