Teen readers will learn about the roots of conflict and how to keep oneself open-minded and informed when assessing a given conflict. The author doesn't focus on current news-making conflicts, choosing instead to help readers understand how and why conflicts in general happen. A useful resource for developing critical thinking. ( )
