Summary

"Wars dehumanize. This book humanizes. To those who have been silenced by the trauma of conflict, gagged by fear and conformity, and muted by the world's indifference, this book gives a voice. And it is an unforgettable voice: powerfully, intimately human, heart-wrenching and heart-warming in equal measure, singing a song of horror and of hope. Packed with 70 unforgettable interviews from eleven conflict zones (Afghanistan, Burma/Myanmar, Iraq, Kosovo, Liberia Libya, Nepal, Nicaragua, Peru, Sudan, and Yemen), Speaking Their Peace lets "ordinary" people tell their own extraordinary stories of life during wartime and their efforts to build a better, more peaceful life for themselves, their families, and their societies. Speaking Their Peace will change the way you think about how people cope with war and the transition from war to peace."--, Provided by publisher
