This is an inspiring, awareness raising book that nourishes me as a conflict resolution facilitator and teacher, and as a social justice advocate. Audergon writes with a practical hand; our organization uses her material and methods in teaching positive approaches to conflict.

Audergon's text goes beyond an understanding of war as the result of government agendas and policies and goes beyond an understanding of conflict resolution that is too often akin to playing chess with the lives of peoples and nations from a detached vantage point. War Hotel is powerful, authentic, and touches the heart of conflict where it originaltes deeply within each of us.

The War Hotel is important and fascinating - not only does it show how we get manipulated into war and violent conflict - it gives a personal and palpable sense that we can break free from the cycles of history. It weaves together the psychological spiritual and deeply political

A thought provoking, fascinating and emotional read! This book will leave you inspired and with a richer understanding of how psychology can effectively be applied to the field of conflict resoution. Highly recommended.
