"Ultimately, this is an important resource for students across disciplines who want to understand children born of war and the psychological, social, and/or legal factors affecting them. Those who conduct ethnography, interviews, and other types of fieldwork can also learn from the text's practical and ethical lessons. Comparative work in this field would be revelatory. Useful for political science, law, psychology, sociology, and human rights." - H. L. Katz, Southwestern Oklahoma State University, CHOICE magazine
