Last night at the TED office in New York, 2009 TED Fellow Rye Barcott stopped by to talk about his new book “It Happened on the Way to War,” a memoir about his concurrent experiences in war and peace.

Rye shared highlights from his new book and some of the community-building initiatives he’s working on in Kibera.
