Horrifically chilling. Ann Jones has written a brilliant book here that pulls together the right balance of data and individual stories to clearly paint the picture of how damaged society can be post-war.
There are chapters and passages that left me just feeling so... empty(?) for the hope of humanity.
It's neatly structured into different chapters based on the different countries that Ann has worked in and the main challenge / theme of that nation following on from a recent or ongoing conflict.
Her work on helping local woman to speak for themselves using the power of photography was a great theme that ran throughout and also provided an opportunity to share images from these women's lives too .
