War-Torn

by Fiona McKay

What happens to all the ordinary people who get caught in the chaos? What's it like to see shops, homes and schools burnt to the ground, to live through times when a month's wages won't buy a single egg, to walk for two weeks to get a mouthful of food? What's it like to work in a country riddled with deadly landmines? From World War II to Cambodia under Pol Pot, Vietnam to Somalia, Fiona McKay shows the everyday realities and human dramas of life behind the battle zone.
