This book presents the life stories of five young people who have been directly affected by conflicts around the world. Each account is accompanied by a section about the history and geopolitical issues pertaining to the unrest. The writing is accessible, and the kids' stories are compelling. The many photographs of children and landscapes help contextualize their stories.
