The international bestseller on conflict resolution has been updated with a powerful new discussion guide for creating lasting change in organizations, relationships, and communities.

Most conflict advice focuses on tactics. The Anatomy of Peace goes deeper—revealing why people in conflict unknowingly work against their own goals, and how to change that from the inside out.

Told through a compelling story set at Camp Moriah, this perennial bestseller follows an Arab man and a Jewish man—each having lost his father to the other's people—as they help parents, leaders, and colleagues discover the hidden root cause behind every conflict.

What you'll gain from this book:

  • A framework for understanding why conflicts persist even when everyone wants resolution
  • Practical tools for healing fractured relationships at home, at work, and in communities
  • A proven methodology used by law enforcement, corporations, and nonprofits worldwide
  • A self-study and group discussion guide (new to the fifth edition) for teams and book clubs

Who it's for: Leaders navigating workplace friction, parents struggling with family conflict, mediators, educators, and anyone who wants lasting peace—not just temporary ceasefires.

Translated into over thirty languages and a top-selling conflict-resolution book for nearly two decades, this revised fifth edition is the definitive guide to resolving conflict at its source.
