The changing face of war in the 21st century makes it imperative for scholars in the Humanities and Social Sciences to take stock of what happens to its (war) victims when the fighting is over. Historically, minorities, especially women and children were suppossed to be protected from the fatalities of war. This work; From 6years to 100: Examining Post-traumatic Stress Disorders Among Former Child Soldiers presents tales of suffering and tragedies encountered by minors yet, adamantly refused to give up on life. It is set in 3countries; Sierra Leone, Camboddia and Uganda - countries that were covered by unrelenting war and absolute violence.
