Trade Review"Both practitioners and scholars of conflict resolution can benefit from this insightful book. Highly recommended."

"One can think of only a few works timelier than Sandole's
Peacebuilding. This book is a must read for students of the IR and conflict resolution as well as practitioners in the field."
Central European Journal of International and Security Studies
"A very informative little book which will serve its purpose as a short textbook very well.

Medicine, Conflict and Survival
"Sandole rightly shows why and how the international community must implement long-term, holistic peacebuilding plans to successfully build robust and sustainable peace in areas threatened or torn apart by war and conflict. An outstanding and innovative book."
Henryk J. Sokalski, Former Special Representative of the Secretary-General of the United Nations
"The path to peace is long, convoluted and challenging, but this essential volume helps light the way."
Charles F. Dambach, President and CEO, Alliance for Peacebuilding
"Highly readable and insightful, Sandole's critique of the 'war on terror' alone is worth the price of the book."
Dean G. Pruitt, Professor Emeritus at the University at Buffalo: The State University of New York"An indispensable resource for both practitioners and scholars seeking to understand how wars end and how to create and maintain the conditions for peace and stability."
