...this book is needed now more than ever. Dr. Hamburg shows us how World War II could have been prevented, and how we can prevent future deadly conflicts from occurring. ...

Dr. Hamburg shows us the way to resolve conflicts and to prevent them. George Bush, Dick Cheney, Rumsfeld, Rice and Tony Blair need to read this book ASAP!!

This book could not be more timely or needed in the wake of September 11 and the war against terrorism. Dr. Hamburg, who headed the Carnegie Commission on Preventing Deadly Conflicts along with Cyrus Vance, has distilled the wisdom of many experts on preventing wars and conflicts into one volume, along with his own unique insights. The book, which comes with jacket blurbs from such luminaries as Jimmy Carter, Kofi Annan, Elie Wiesel, Sam Nunn and Warren Christopher, starts by laying out the events leading up to World War 2 and how that tragedy could have been prevented. Read this book to see how we can prevent World War 3 from happening!

Dr. Hamburg, during a TV interview on 10/8/02 thought a good place to begin changing the world on a path toward peace would be through -- The United Nations, Pres. Jimmy Carter & CNN cable news -- Here we go again. We'll just put all the intellectuals together, few of whom have earned dollars in the free competitive market, and have little working knowledge of how the human world functions outdoors of a classroom or library or gov. office, and we'll have them write a book on how to solve the worlds problems. They do this by thinking while their heads are way out of the classroom, and way up in the clouds. Turn everything over to the do nothing UN to get us into deaper trouble - to Jimmy Carter to, well-- - and to Jane Fonda's husband. I quit. P.S. I DO RATE THIS BOOK THREE STARS. I found I just had to pick my way carfully through it.
