The True Cost of Conflict (Paperback)

This study examines seven recent civil and international conflicts, including the Gulf War, the struggle for independence in Kashmir, the civil wars in the Sudan and Mozambique, Indonesia's invasion of East Timor, and the guerilla war in Peru. The contributors describe the price of conflict not only in terms of deaths and injuries, but also in terms of social, economic and environmental consequences. They ask who, if anyone, really benefits from conflict. They also explore the impact of these conflicts on the Western world, and current approaches to conflict management and prevention.
