Introducing Season 5: Who makes a killing from war, and how can we stop them?

Published on: 12th August, 2026

In Season 5 of Disrupting Peace, we ask how private companies and powerful individuals make their fortune from killing…and why no one stops them. As defense budgets reach new heights, we examine the corruption and myths that prop up today’s international arms trade.

This season builds on a forthcoming new book, Making a Killing: How the West Profits from Slaughter in Yemen and Gaza by Andrew Feinstein, Ruth Rohde and Jack Cinamon from Shadow World Investigations.

Episode 1 launches on September 8, 2026.

Disrupting Peace is a production of The World Peace Foundation. Find out more at worldpeacefoundation.org.
