The intent of this book is to bring about peace through the understanding of what prevents peace. Peace: The Enemy of Freedom - The Myth of Nonviolence does not offer solutions, methods, conclusions or hopes about peace. It does not advocate any political, philosophical or religious reform to solve the problem of war. This book poses fundamental questions on what prevents peace, and by so doing, evokes insight into that which creates conflict, individually and globally.
