In her latest book, High Conflict, Amanda Ripley explores how good people get captured by devastating conflict and how they can break free. Amanda combines storytelling with data—drawing lessons from examples like the FARC militants of Colombia and the violent gangs of Chicago—to develop a theory of successful conflict resolution.

In this edition of the Braver Angels Podcast, Amanda joins hosts Ciaran O'Connor and April Lawson to dive deep into her book and illuminate lessons we can apply to tribal politics in the U.S.
