There’s been a lot of talk about a new Cold War — and this week the world was surprised by an old Cold War throwback: a major prisoner swap between the Western countries and Russia. But why did Putin agree to such a thing, and what does it mean for the war in Ukraine? Two military experts join guest host Murray Brewster to discuss.

Plus: Roméo Dallaire has spent three decades since the Rwandan Genocide on a journey towards inner peace — and he has some ideas about peace between nations as well. He sits down with The House as part of our Book Smart Series series to talk about his new book, The Peace: A Warrior's Journey.

This episode features the voices of: 

• Sean Maloney, professor, Royal Military College of Canada
• Matthew Schmidt, associate professor, University of New Haven
• Roméo Dallaire, retired lieutenant-general, author, The Peace: A Warrior's Journey
