“In the course of defense of a nation, we, the people of that nation must have the courage to embrace innovative change. To keep our democracy, we cannot accept ignorance and the rut of tradition when traditional methods cease to work.” 

Mary Kendall Hope, p. 8

“From the first page of this book, Dr. Hope moves the readers from theories of conflict resolution to practice. The framework it provides for stopping terrorism could be applied to similar clashes around the world. Iraq: How Conflict Resolution Can Defeat Terrorism provides the reader with a deep knowledge about the choices peacemakers have in addressing terrorism in Iraq.”
