"Looking back over the history of mankind, it's easy to be disgusted by how much hate, bigotry, murder, and mayhem have been done in the name of religion...What Peter offers is powerful proof and positive solutions that are a light in the darkness. This book, and what it offers, is both compelling and essential...Put it to work!" (Dov Baron)

"Never before have I recommended a book with such urgency. In this age of pandemics, politics gone mad, and rage-filled social media, our families, friendships, workplaces, communities and nations seem irreparably divided. In this accessible, practical, deeply compassionate blend of self-help, history, philosophy and cutting-edge behavioral science, Peter Montoya shows us what we can do to rediscover our shared humanity, our shared values, and a shared sense of purpose. The Second Civil War is the first book of its kind in the long-overdue genre of political self-help." (Samuel Veissière)

“There’s no way forward without acknowledging where we are and how we got here. Peter breaks it all down brilliantly, then offers an astonishingly simple formula for disarmament. Anyone who has been concerned about the fiercely divided state of society needs to get their hands on this book...” (Mark Cole)
