Books that explore subjects from William Shakespeare and The Beatles<\/a> to the lure of Mount Everest and life inside one of the world\u2019s most secretive states are competing to be named the best-ever winner of Britain\u2019s leading nonfiction book prize.<\/p>\n

The Baillie Gifford Prize is marking its 25th year with a Winner of Winners prize. Three American writers, two from Canada and one from Britain are on the shortlist announced Thursday for the 25,000 pound ($30,000) trophy.<\/p>\n

The prize was launched in 1999 to reward English-language books from any country in current affairs, history, politics, science, sport, travel, biography, autobiography and the arts.<\/p>\n

Judges have chosen six of the 24 past winners of the award \u2014 known until 2015 as the Samuel Johnson Prize \u2014 as finalists for the one-off accolade. The winner will be announced April 27 at a ceremony in Edinburgh, Scotland.<\/p>\n

The eclectic shortlist includes cultural kaleidoscope “One Two Three Four: The Beatles in Time” by Craig Brown, the only U.K. writer<\/a> on the list. Books by Canadians are Wade Davis\u2019 mountaineering odyssey “Into the Silence” and Margaret MacMillan\u2019s history of the post-World War I peace talks, “Paris 1919.”<\/p>\n

ANDREW CARNEGIE MEDAL FOR EXCELLENCE AWARDED TO JULIE OTSUKA, ED YONG<\/u><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

The U.S. finalists are Barbara Demick’s “Nothing to Envy: Real Lives in North Korea<\/a>“; Patrick Radden Keefe’s “Empire of Pain,” about the Sackler family and its links to the opioid crisis; and James Shapiro’s “1599: A Year in the Life of William Shakespeare.”<\/p>\n

Just two of the six books are by women, reflecting a historic imbalance in nonfiction publishing that prize organizers say is being rectified. In the past decade, 40% of the prize winners have been women.<\/p>\n

Editor Jason Cowley, chair of the judging panel said that despite their disparate topics, “there is a family resemblance” among the six books.<\/p>\n

He said the works combine literary distinction with “a kind of formal innovation.”<\/p>\n

“All the books are very good at conveying what Hilary Mantel called the atmospheric pressure of the times,” he said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
