Listopia > Plight of a Nation

Books that shed light on the suffering experienced by the people of nations or regions impacted by wars, disease, genocide, severe poverty, etc.

I intended this list for non-fiction, but fiction is OK too as long as it has some element of truth in describing how things in the nation in question actually are.

The focus here is on the current situation in these nations, or the very recent history (last 20 years or so).
