"There is cause to hope, and believe, that there can be an end to war."
--Lt. Col. Dave Grossman, U.S. Army (ret.)
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 U.S. 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.

Will War Ever End? is a book we felt must be published. Along with its accompanying website, we hope this book will contribute to meaningful change in the way people look at our world and how we live, not only with our fellow humans, but with our fellow beings of all kinds. Humans are violent not only to each other but to the natural world we inhabit. We have reached a point of no return in our relationships with each other and with our planet. Our commitment to helping make that change is the reason this book exists. Any profits that come to us from publishing this book will be dedicated to furthering its goals. When you buy a copy of Will War Ever End? you are making a contribution to help change the world.
"Captain Chappell has written a lucid, eloquent, compelling book, a wonderful book... The abolition of war is possible, providing we do the work of creating trustworthy structures of collective security and waging peace as Captain Chappell models for us." - Jonathan Shay, MD, PhD, 2009 Omar Bradley Chair of Strategic Leadership, US Army War College; MacArthur Fellow, author of Achilles in Vietnam and Odysseus in America (foreword by Senators John McCain and Max Cleland)
