"It's really a horror to live in a war", Antoine Makdis told me in
Aleppo. And over the next ten days we were witnesses to that
horror. "The war has aged me not just psychologically but in my way
of thinking. It aged me in my body. I have pain when I walk. I have
pain when I'm sleeping. I'm not wiser but I'm older." Featuring
stories of human rights violations and struggles in a world of
human- and earth-destroying globalised capitalism, the RTE What in
the World? television series has filmed in over fifty countries
across Africa, Asia and The Americas. This is the second book
published by The Liffey Press based on the award-winning series.
With a focus on war and its consequences, this book tells
profoundly moving stories of how conflict has convulsed the lives
of people caught up its insidious grip, plunged people into the
depths of despair and crushed the hopes and dreams of whole
generations. None of this is accidental. Wars don't just happen.
They are the inevitable result of the military industrial complex,
the colonial legacy, the economic dividends of war. War, Suffering
and the Struggle for Human Rights describes the suffering of
ordinary people in Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, Mexico, Russia, South
Sudan, Syria, Uruguay, Western Sahara, Palestine/Israel, Brazil,
South Korea, Somalia and Timor Leste. Above all, the reader will be
left with an understanding of how wars live on in the lives and
bodies of the injured and the traumatized long after they are
deemed officially over.
