Our Bodies, Their Battlefields: War Through the Lives of Women by Christina Lamb

5.0

“Meanwhile, every time i walk past a war memorial i wonder why the women’s names are not on it”

One of the most hard hitting books i have ever read, rape as a war crime is something very rarely discussed, it is not something included textbooks. And especially now, when veterans are treated like gods whereas the women they violated are left with the consequences, a deeply necessary read. The stories of these women will stick with me forever.
