Publisher's Synopsis
In this book, Liberian women and men who were caught in the civil war between 1989 and 2003, tell their own stories of assisting the afflicted, feeding the hungry, pleading with trigger-happy young soldiers to stop the killing, seeking to heal trauma, taking to the streets in protest, and storming peace conferences to speak plainly and forcefully about the destruction of families, communities and the nation. They are stories that should inspire every one of us' - Koffi Annan, United Nations Secretary-General.'
