Summary "War creates many individual and family tragedies. To a child, war may mean not having enough to eat and feeling sick. To a woman, it may mean persistent threat of physical or sexual assault. To an older person, it may mean there is no available medical care and no available medicine to control diabetes and high blood pressure. To a displaced person, it may mean separation from family members. To a military veteran, it may mean recurring nightmares. And to those whose parents, spouse, siblings, children, or other family members or friends were killed, it may mean eternal grief"-- Provided by publisher
