“What Mir’s memoir tells us is how he walked that unbelievably challenging course with a humility and thoughtfulness that is both humbling and inspiring. It is vital we all learn this lesson from Mir’s story. We must come together to replace the endless war cycle that leads too many victims to justify revenge and retribution with a vision for building the just peace we all deserve.”
