Most people think war is easy and peace is hard. Blattman synthesizes decades of social science and policymakers' practical experiences to argue the opposite: War is hard and finding peace is easier than you think. Why We Fight was released by Viking Press in April 2022.

Christopher Blattman is Ramalee E. Pearson Professor of Global Conflict Studies at the Harris School of Public Policy, University of Chicago.
