this was the most upsetting thing I’ve ever read, I’ve never felt so small and useless and enraged

The most haunting book I have ever read. So much we know about history leaves out the torture and rape of women as a weapon of war.

This has been the most difficult book I have ever read. Although it was hard and at times I had to put it down for awhile, I believe that this book should be included in history courses. This part of war and conflict needs to be dragged out into the light so it can be talked about and perpetrators brought to justice. What these woman and children have gone through is unfathomable. This has happened in so many places - Iraq, Syria, Rwanda, Nigeria, the Philippines, Bosnia - the list goes on and and each instance is utterly horrific. Also infuriating is that some of these victims of the cruelest things imaginable also are stigmatized when they return to their communities because of what they went through. This book is heartbreaking and infuriating, but absolutely necessary. Read it and pass it on.
