A reporter's first-hand, close-up-and-personal look at the impact of our recent wars on America's unlucky soldiers.

In 2007, the International Rescue Committee (IRC), which brings relief to countries in the wake of war, wanted to understand what really happened to women, in post-conflict zones. On behalf of the IRC, the author travelled through Africa, East Asia, and the Middle East, lending cameras to women. This title features the photographs they had taken.

Soon after the bombs stopped falling on Kabul, award-winning journalist and women's rights activist Ann Jones set out for the shattered city. This is her report from the city where she spent the next four winters working in humanitarian aid.
