Are there deep divisions in your family, country, neighborhood, or workplace?

Unity: A Model for Reconciliation, Peace, and Partnership offers a historically grounded and forward-looking examination of how deeply divided people have achieved meaningful unity during times of extreme polarization-and what those lessons mean for today.

At a moment when political, racial, economic, and cultural divisions threaten democracy and social cohesion, the book argues that unity is not naïve idealism, but a disciplined practice rooted in moral courage, personal responsibility, and inclusive engagement.

Drawing on the largely overlooked global work of the Moral Re-Armament (MRA) movement from the 1930s through the postwar era, the book documents remarkable cases of reconciliation across seemingly impossible divides: former enemies after war, labor and management, colonizers and colonized, and racial and ideological opponents across Europe, Africa, Asia, Australia, and the United States.

Its central thesis is that lasting unity begins when individuals and institutions commit to changing themselves first. Through truth-telling, apology, and inclusion-rather than coercion or shaming-divided groups can forge trust and partnership.

Will you be a force for unity in your life and in the world?
