The End of War: How Waging Peace Can Save Humanity, Our Planet, and Our Future will be published in May 2010. It is the sequel to Will War Ever End? that explains in detail how together we can end the wars between countries, our ongoing war with nature, and the suffering in our hearts.
“Captain Paul K. Chappell has given us a crucial look at war and peace from the unique perspective of a soldier, and his new ideas show us why world peace is both necessary and possible in the 21st century. The End of War can help people everywhere understand why war must end, and how together we can end it.” - Archbishop Desmond Tutu, Nobel Peace Prize Laureate
“We’ve all heard of the mind’s eye – Paul K. Chappell offers us a view through the heart’s eye. His life, his military experience, and his insight have inspired him to share something that is already changing us. Every reader of his books will know we are seeing an important new author emerge - and he is one we need.” – Gavin de Becker, best-selling author of The Gift of Fear
“The End of War is another timeless masterpiece, building upon Paul K. Chappell’s previous work with brilliant insight and lucid prose, in order to identify: the root cause of war, the most difficult artform (living!), how to live and why to live, and a true “toolbox” of skills and wisdom to begin the process of building a peaceful world.” - Lt. Col. Dave Grossman, author of On Killing and On Combat, Director of the Warrior Science Group

November 6th, 2009 at 8:56 pmThank you! Your article How Patriotism Can Save America” is a must read. My father was Army intelligence in Europe in WWII. When people started burning flags to protest Viet Nam he thought a while and said, “We fought for freedom of speech.” When Nixon was pardoned he was truly shaken. “I truly thought that in this country no man was above the law.” Thought, communication and voting are obligations of being a citizen in this country. We are so not perfect, we have so much work to do. How can we be excused from participating? My husband grew up in a country where voting was meaningless and had no intention of voting here when he became a citizen after 10 years of marriage. I told him it wasn’t optional. My fellow election judges clapped for him on his first vote. Well, so we don’t always have to best candidates. Maybe the conspiracy theories are true. We still have to participate or it can be worse.
I look forward to reading your books. Thank you.
