"In 2016, President Juan Manuel Santos of Colombia was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize "for his resolute efforts to bring the country's more than 50-year-long civil war to an end, a war that has cost the lives of at least 220,000 Colombians and displaced close to six million people." In The Battle for Peace, Santos provides a complete account of the long and difficult road to end the conflict: the initial exploratory meetings between members of the Colombian government and the FARC (Fuerzas Armadas Revolucionarias de Colombia (Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia)); the secret negotiations; the General Agreement of 2012 that laid out a formal peace process; and the lengthy discussions that eventually led to the final agreement in 2016.

In addition to describing the road to peace, Santos shares reflections-called "lessons"-on how to overcome obstacles in order to achieve goals that serve the common good"--
