Life after war is intrinsically political for former combatants. As
wars end, societies and former combatants face a period of
transition. This book explores the experience of coming home for
former combatants, capturing the challenges and opportunities for
political mobilization among former combatants as they return from
three very different wars: South West Africa People's Organization
combatants who participated in the Namibian War of Independence
(1966-90); guerrillas from Movimiento 19 de Abril who joined the
ongoing guerilla warfare conducted against the Colombian state
(1974-90), and combatants from the United States who participated
in the Vietnam War (1955-75). Offering an insightful perspective on
peace as a process through the long-term study of the lives of
fifty former combatants, Soederstroem demonstrates how the process
of coming home shapes their political commitment and identity.
Combining detailed scholarship with interviews with former
combatants, this volume serves as a powerful reminder of the
legacies of war in the lives of former combatants. -- .
