Weapons of Peace
International bestselling author Peter D. Johnston has crafted a critically acclaimed thriller wrapped in the history of a moated castle, the Holocaust, and Hitler’s rise—inspired by new accounts of how the Nazis tested a fledgling nuclear weapon in late 1944.
Recovering from gunshot wounds and confined to an ancient English castle, America's top negotiator shares the secrets of his interrupted mission and his craft with the only person he dares to trust—a young British nurse with a troubled past. When she proves to be an exceptional student of his laws of influence, he urges her to help him complete his mission: Hitler has an atom bomb, and his scientists must be persuaded to undermine their own creation.
Weapons of Peace races from a midnight ambush on a British beach and a bizarre killing in Washington, D.C., to a scorched atomic test site in Germany and hidden passages forged under Berlin by resisters plotting to murder Hitler. Johnston's expert hand blends real-world historical material with heart-pounding action, unforgettable characters, and precious insights into influence and how the Nazis negotiated their way to power and kept it.

His first business book, Negotiating with Giants, was touted by CNN News as "Very valuable...What you need to know to get a good deal on just about anything." In Embassy Magazine, it was described as using "a finer brush" than Getting to Yes, and that ”Fans of best-selling 48 Laws of Power will recognize and enjoy a similarly informative and engaging storytelling style."
Readers of Peter D. Johnston describe Negotiating with Giants as "insightful and entertaining," a "vibrant and informative how-to" "packed with insights" in a way that is "well-organized and highly accessible".
Peter’s second book, Weapons of Peace, takes a turn into fiction, but with his trademark skills of digging into history to provide "riveting historical fiction . . . superbly researched and executed ." Author Keven Fletcher describes Weapons of Peace as "like The Da Vinci Code", and warns that readers should "buckle up for non-stop action and deceit -- with an ending that will leave you breathless."
Other reviewers call it ”absolutely addictive,” "brilliantly crafted . . . with the historical realism of Alan Furst or Ken Follett," and say of the main character, “Nurse Doyle morphs into...a cross between Florence Nightingale and Dragon Tattoo's Lisbeth Salander.”
