War

Published in association with the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies, this book discusses what happens when a major disaster strikes and how governments and aid agencies respond.

Using case studies, eye witness accounts, photographs and background information, this book on war, which is part of a series, attempts to help children understand the scenes they see on television and encourage them to think from a new perspective.

The book considers case studies such as the Rwandan civil war (1994) and Iraq (1991) when half a million Kurds fled the country.
