The Future of Peace

the long version

"Journalist Scott Hunt spent three years traveling the world's trouble spots on a quest to glean wisdom from the world's great peacemakers. Hunt shares remarkable stories from Burma's legendary pro-democracy leader Aung San Suu Kyi, Tibet's moral authority the Dalai Lama, Vietnam's leading dissident Thich Quang Do, famed primate specialist and humanitarian Dr. Jane Goodall, Cambodia's Supreme Patriarch Maha Ghosananda, Costa Rica's Nobel Peace Laureate Oscar Arias, and other famed leaders who battle to end the brutality against people and the causes they cherish. These figures are unwilling to accept that our lives must consist of the tragedy of unremitting conflict and warfare. The Future of Peace conveys both a message of hope and a call to action, revealing what it means to remain steadfast to a vision of compassion, to be a leader, and to preserve peace in our own day-to-day lives."--BOOK JACKET.
