War causes death, disability, and disease. It damages the
health-supporting infrastructure, displaces populations, violates
human rights, and diverts resources. And it subsequently leads to
more violence. From Horror to Hope documents the health
consequences of war, primarily for noncombatant civilians but also
for military personnel and veterans, and outlines what can be done
to minimize these consequences. Written by a public health
physician engaged with this subject for decades, the book also
describes positive developments in addressing the health impacts of
war, including new initiatives to protect civilians during war,
reduce gender-based violence and mental trauma, and control the
international arms trade and nuclear weapons. In addition, From
Horror to Hope profiles inspiring health professionals who are
providing healthcare for war-affected populations and participating
in education, research, and advocacy to reduce the health impacts
of war. Finally, the book demonstrates how traditional public
health frameworks and new paradigms can be applied to the
prevention of war and the promotion of peace. Given the current
peak in armed conflicts and the increasing threat of future wars,
From Horror to Hope provides an extremely timely overview for
anyone seeking to better understand and address the health
consequences of war.
