Based upon original reporting and theorizing about the world's "forgotten war zones," this book features essays by novelist-philosopher Bernard-Henri Lévy. Included are Levy's reflections on massacres in Burundi and Angola, female suicide bombers in Sri Lanka, and death and destruction in Algeria and Sudan. In the spirit of Emile Zola, Victor Hugo, Jean-Paul Sartre, and Simone de Beauvoir, Lévy analyzes contemporary conflicts from a European perspective. First world-third world relations are assessed in these pieces.
