Diana K Oestreich

On an Iraqi battlefield, Diana laid down her weapon to wage peace & save lives.
Her debut book recounting her journey from soldier to peacemaker, Waging Peace, was Amazon’s #1 new release in war and peace.

Diana’s work as an Author, Activist, and former combat medic have taught her how we can wage peace right where we live: from classrooms to courthouses, from our churches to our fractured communities.

She founded The Waging Peace Project teaching everyday peacemakers to break the status quo and interrupt violence by activating joy and instigating peace.
