From America’s founding to the present day, why has it been so difficult to achieve peace and justice as a result of our conflicts? Over the last 20 years, the United States has been involved in the longest war ever in its history. How can the United States, its allies, and partners—the most powerful nations in the world—achieve peace and justice in the face of persistent conflict amongst the people in a manner that justifies the expenditure of national blood and treasure? General Sir Rupert Smith, LTG (Ret.) Jim Dubik, Ph.D., and LTC (Ret.) Conrad Crane, Ph.D. will explore the past to see what lessons they hold for the future.
