From the Publisher
Based on the highly acclaimed PeaceJam program-an eduation action plan built around the spirit, skills, and wisdom of Nobel Peace Laureates--this is a practical and motivational guide that will inspire a generation of peacemakers. PeaceJam traces the lives of five American teens who, by applying the skills and techniques from the PeaceJam program and developing personal relationships with Nobel Peace Laureates such as Rigoberta Menchu Tum and the Dalai Lama, begin to sense their own potential for greatness.
