Overview

Wars dominate the headlines. Their triggers. Their course. The people involved. Their devastating effects, damage, destruction and suffering. The question is asked far too rarely: How does a war end? And what does it take to make peace possible? Not from just anyone, but from people who have been in the middle of important peace processes in various roles: statesmen, Nobel Peace Prize winners, top diplomats and chief negotiators provide rare insights into how it was possible to come to the negotiating table and establish peace in major conflicts. Leading international figures describe how they were involved in decisive turning points in history.
