with their nationalities:
.Bd -literal -offset indent
Jean Henri Dunant,Switzerland
Frederic Passy,France
Elie Ducommun,Switzerland
Baroness Bertha Sophie Felicita Von Suttner

Join the two files using the second column from first file and the default first
column from second file specifying a custom field delimiter:
.Bd -literal -offset indent
$ join -t, -1 2 nobel_laureates.txt nobel_nationalities.txt

.Ql <<NULL>>
to replace empty fields:
.Bd -literal -offset indent

This example uses
.Pa nobel_nationalities.txt
as a bridge but does not show any information from that file.
Also see the note about
.Xr sort 1
above to understand why we need to sort the intermediate result.
