8.156 Billion Gazes Toward Global Peace
By Hassan Azadeh
A sophisticated and impactful narrative in the literature of peace and humanity; a work that blossomed from the profound and poignant question of the author’s son, Mohammad, during their stay in Switzerland: Why do some children live under the heavy shadow of bombardments? This book is the resonant and global echo of human aspirations for the cessation of wars. This enduring work contains letters written from the perspective of Mohammad to the leaders of the world’s five continents, the Secretary-General of the United Nations, and the global leadership of child protection; a modern and profound manifesto on peace, women’s rights, the strengthening of the family foundation, and environmental conservation, to serve as humanity’s resonant cry for a war-free tomorrow.
