Our bodies, their battlefields : war through the lives of women

This is not a book for the faint of heart, but is a much-needed investigation into the lives of women who are the victims of international wars and conflicts. Even though there have been significant gains in women's rights, it is only recently that rape as a weapon of war has been internationally acknowledged. Rape used as a weapon to intimidate, to silence, to coerce women and young girls into submission, and the after effects on survivors are what Christina Lamb writes about.
