 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*](https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/636263/why-we-fight-by-christopher-blattman/) was released by Viking Press in April 2022.

 [Christopher Blattman](https://harris.uchicago.edu/directory/christopher-blattman) is Ramalee E. Pearson Professor of Global Conflict Studies at the Harris School of Public Policy, University of Chicago.
