Recovering from gunshot wounds and confined to an ancient English castle, America's top negotiator shares the secrets of his interrupted mission and his craft with the only person he dares to trust-a young British nurse with a troubled past. When she proves to be an exceptional student of his laws of influence, he urges her to help him complete his mission: Hitler has an atom bomb, and his scientists must be persuaded to undermine their own creation. Author Peter D. Johnston, an international negotiation expert and bestselling author of Negotiating with Giants, has crafted a thought-provoking thriller that immerses readers in one of history's most pivotal moments. Weapons of Peace offers up intrigue, action, and timely influence lessons for a world still on the brink today because of tyrants and nuclear threats. The book will appeal to fans of thrillers, espionage, novels about World War II, and strong female protagonists-with cross-over appeal to readers of non-fiction negotiation books, including Negotiating with Giants

Review:

"You won't want to sleep until you've read the very last page . . . like The Da Vinci Code . . . buckle up for non-stop action and deceit--with an ending that will leave you breathless."

--KEVEN FLETCHER, AUTHOR, WHEN IT MATTERS MOST

"Brilliantly crafted . . . Johnston writes with the historical realism of Alan Furst or Ken Follett, and the intellectual breadth and clarity one would expect from the author of Negotiating with Giants. In Weapons of Peace, readers are treated to a new genre of fiction--negotiation noir."
--BARBARA J. FALK, DEFENSE, SECURITY & POLITICAL SCHOLAR

"Riveting historical fiction . . . superbly researched and executed . . . from one of the world's leading negotiation experts."
--JULES B. BLOCH, LLB, PROFESSIONAL MEDIATOR & ARBITRATOR

"A striking novel with richly textured characters . . . Nurse Doyle morphs into one badass negotiator, a jarring cross between nursing saint Florence Nightingale and Dragon Tattoo's Lisbeth Salander."
--TORY MCTAGGART, PRINCIPAL, BOUND2LEARN BOOKS

"Absolutely addictive . . . the author's ingenuity and command of his material are on full display on every page. Woven seamlessly into this breathtaking page-turner is a master class in negotiation and influence."
--DAN PONTEFRACT, LEADERSHIP STRATEGIST, BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF OPEN TO THINK
