A ground-breaking new book that dares to bridge the divide between peacemakers and military strategists.

As the world reels from an unprecedented surge in destructive wars and international crises, a new and critically important book challenges conventional wisdom and asks: Can peace be built by dialogue alone, or is there a role for those who wield military force? With 20 unflinching first-person accounts, the book uniquely gives voice to both sides of the "conflict resolution debate" from seasoned UN negotiators and grassroots peacebuilders to intelligence experts and military veterans.
