Once in a great while, a book is written that substantially changes the
way people think about a particular subject. Will War Ever End? is such
a book. Written as a "manifesto for waging peace" by an active duty
captain in the US Army, Will War Ever End? challenges readers to think
about peace, war and violence in radically new ways.
"Are human beings naturally violent?"
"What is hatred?"
"How can love overcome the power of hatred?"
"How does nonviolence overcome the power of violence?"
"How can we prove that unconditional love makes us psychologically
healthy and that hatred, just like an illness, occurs when something has
gone wrong?"
"How does violence against the natural world relate to violence between
human beings?"
These are all questions that Captain Paul K. Chappell leads us to
consider in a strikingly new way. In Will War Ever End?, Chappell
demonstrates that human beings are naturally peaceful and that world
peace can become more than a cliché. He lays out a practical framework
for transforming the way we think about war and violence, enabling us to
begin the real work we must do in order to achieve true peace for
mankind.
Will War Ever End? is a deeply personal story of a soldier's search for
human understanding that will lead to universal transformation. Its
message is one of hope, offering practical solutions to help us build a
better world.
We can all make change. Now is the time to begin.
