This book proposes that though conflict is a natural part of human interaction, war is not. It is time to consider that our children and our grandchildren deserve better than for us to pass on to them that sad, awful legacy. The Promise of Peace points to a future where the vast resources now reserved for war could be used instead for building bridges to a better world.
