The Price of Peace

 
 

The Price of Peace is an hour-long special for Public Television exploring deterrence in military strategy and national policy. From the plains of the Maasai Mara to the demilitarized zone between North and South Korea, the program seeks to explain the anthropological origins of deterrence and the practical limitations of "peace through strength" in an era of terrorism, cyber-warfare, and nuclear proliferation.

The Price of Peace was delivered for broadcast on Public Television in November 2017.
