Episode 9: Peace talk with Hugh McDonnell

Published on 13 March 2026 - Created by Peace Histories Podcast team

We’re delighted to have Hugh McDonnell from the University of Groningen with us as we share the fascinating story of Jacques Pâris de Bollardière, a French army general known for his inspiring commitment to nonviolence. You might be wondering, how could an army, often associated with violence, adopt such a peaceful stance? Is that even possible? If you’re curious, make sure to listen to our podcast right now! Hugh’s book on Jacques Pâris de Bollardière will be launching soon, so you’re getting an exclusive sneak peek from his talk.
