description: Lost among war statistics and battle lines is the very real tragedy of simple people trying to survive in wretched conditions-old people and children dodging bullets, diving for cover from exploding shells, running away from the debris of human body parts that threaten to engulf them. No Country but War gives us detailed and poignant descriptions of being caught in the brutal violence and chaos of the Lebanese Civil War-from saving a dying child whose parents couldn't get medical assistance to desperately talking his own way out of an execution, after being forced to his knees with a gun at his head.
