"The fragile peace agreements that have in the post?Cold War years sought to resolve protracted conflicts fall well short of being genuine, stable settlements. This volume is concerned with how those agreements might be strengthened and, especially, how best to conceptualize the period after a tentative peace has been negotiated."

An interview with Ishmael Beah, Carlinda Monteiro, and Mike Wessels. Child soldiers: It's offensive to even put those two words together in the same phrase. Yet 300,000 children are forced into combat in dozens of countries. This is the riveting story of one of them who experienced the psychological affects of war and then escaped the violence to become an advocate for ending the use of children in war. He's joined by psychologists who help these children regain peace and a place in the world.
