Children of War: Iraqi Children Speak
Author(s): Deborah Ellis
Years have passed since the US and its allies invaded Iraq - the true democracy has yet to come. Four million Iraqis have been displaced; half are living in desolate tent camps, the other mostly stuck in Jordan and Syria. Deborah Ellis interviews some of the war's most tragic victims - Iraqi children, and gives them a chance to speak about how war and displacement have shaped their lives. Ages 10-14 years.
