college graduates who are working in ways that promote peacemaking and
conflict resolution. Smith takes the stance that most any field of work
can be shaped into a peacebuilding career. The key is to apply creativity
and passion to the work. Then Paul Ingles visits with Brian Gruber,
author of "War: The Afterparty – A Global Walkabout through a Half-Century
of U.S. Military Interventions". His book documents his world tour
through countries that the U.S. has sent its military in the past 5
decades: Southeast Asia, the Greater Middle East, the Balkans and Central
America. Gruber talks with political and religious leaders, citizens,
writers, teachers, mothers and combatants who witnessed a turbulent
