Description
Maria Ousseimi traveled to four of the most war-torn countries in the world - Lebanon, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Mozambique, and El Salvador - to interview young people living under siege. With unflinching photographs and haunting firsthand stories, she captures the physical and psychological devastation of war. Perhaps most shocking of all, though, is her realization that of the many conflicts she covered, one of the worst is the undeclared war being fought in our own nation's capital. The street wars of Washington, D.C., and of other neighborhoods across the United States, wreak no less damage on young lives and remind us how close to home the tragedy of war really is. Caught in the Crossfire provides an eye-opening and deeply moving glimpse into the lives of young people trying to survive and make sense of a nightmare world.
