{"product_id":"path-to-peace-gordan-glass-9781910268575","title":"PATH to Peace: A Preventative Armistice Treaty for Humanity","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003ePATH to Peace\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e argues that humanity stands at a turning point: either stumble into nuclear World War III or deliberately choose a preventative peace. The book begins by exposing the collapse of the sovereignty system born at Westphalia. National \"defence of the realm\" is obsolete in an interdependent world where WMDs, climate collapse, and systemic risks cross all borders. The P5\/N9 are revealed as \"WMD Villains,\" trapped in fear of humiliation, escalating weapons to mask shame. Yet villains can become heroes - by shifting their attention from fear to humanity's shared survival.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe book sets out the tools of transformation: the \u003cb\u003eFear Gap\u003c\/b\u003e (why fear creates what it resists), the \u003cb\u003eLadders\u003c\/b\u003e (truth, conscience, vitality), and \u003cb\u003ewitness consciousness\u003c\/b\u003e (the inner stance that disarms projection). It then grounds these in institutions: a \u003cb\u003eConscience Council\u003c\/b\u003e to hold leaders to moral standards, and a \u003cb\u003eUN Parliamentary Assembly\u003c\/b\u003e to give humanity itself a voice.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLaw-making is examined as the anchor of trust: \u003cb\u003eobjective harm belongs to law, subjective offence belongs to dialogue, predictability builds legitimacy\u003c\/b\u003e. Shame is revealed as the hidden driver of conflict - and its admission as the gateway to reconciliation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe central proposal follows: a \u003cb\u003ePreventative Armistice Treaty of Humanity (PATH)\u003c\/b\u003e, to be signed before catastrophe. Every war ends with a treaty; the point is to sign one in foresight, not regret. This requires recognising that war is not a necessity but an addiction - and adopting a 12-step recovery pathway for leaders and nations.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eObjections about enforcement are answered: not with more weapons, but with \u003cb\u003elegitimacy, verification, incentives, precedent, education, and recovery culture\u003c\/b\u003e. Historical examples - the Cuban Missile Crisis, the Berlin Wall, Ireland, South Africa - prove peaceful enforcement works when bullies are not shielded by bigger bullies.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe book closes with a call for \u003cb\u003eenlightened leadership\u003c\/b\u003e: integrated, shame-aware, conscience-guided. It culminates in a redefinition of defence itself: not defence of borders, but defence of humanity and the planet.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe campaign line is clear: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eTurn to Humanity - Follow the PATH to Peace - From Warfare to Welfare.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eWith Governance of Humanity, for Humanity, by Humanity, with Humanity.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Gordan Glass\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1910268577\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781910268575\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Global Leadership Ltd\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/05\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 150\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.46lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.32d","brand":"Gordan Glass","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48447084822783,"sku":"9781910268575","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_0a6207f1-678d-4b43-923d-3e1ef862d5b2.jpg?v=1777228716","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/path-to-peace-gordan-glass-9781910268575","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
