War from a Child's Point of View Elizabeth Ukeni Abamu

There are all kinds of wars. Wars that start from within our human minds, then transfer to our hearts, then spills into our homes, our work places, our cities, our nations, and then into other nations. Thus we have wars within us, family wars, tribal wars, civil wars, international wars, and then world wars. War tears apart, destroys, ravages, pollutes, not just the environment but the minds of the people of all generations in war zones. The negative impact on children are devastating disorders that spill into the future and spread across boundaries of war territories. This book delivers insights of the experiences the mind of a child can soak up and store for use when making decisions for their own lives and the future lives of others. Travel with me through some of the documented experiences of the brutal Nigerian and Biafran three year civil war. After reading this book, you may be able to cross the line of sympathy into empathy as you make decisions for war or for peace of any kind in your own lifetime to make life a saving difference. My prayer is for this book to be read by anyone of influence or persuasive abilities to prevent any war from being declared, or to stop an existing one by reaching out for a peaceful resolution for the sake of children; maybe the one you see in a mirror, YOU!
