Summary: No place to be a child
Comment: With children and violence a hot issue in America, this book focuses on the effects war has on children. Of course, injury and loss of loved ones are at the top of the list, but so are less obvious detriments like barriers to education and health care. It also discusses the mental impact that war and violence has on children for years to come. Final section transforms discussion from international wars to similar impacts for American children in violent inner cities.

Would like to see an update with new case studies like Sierra Leone, Iraq and Columbine. But, regardless, the book is still quite an eye-opener which can convince even the most hawkish warmonger that the "collateral" damage to youth from war/violence is long-term and potentially irreversible.
