Description: "Sri Lanka, the serendipitous isle off India's southeast coast, is savaged by civil war. Since the fanatical Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam began battling the government in 1984, more than 60,000 Sinhala and Tamils have died, and thousands more have been internally displaced. In 1999 the vicious conflict continued unabated, and one of the authors of this book, a Tamil moderate, was killed in July by a suicide bomber."--BOOK JACKET.

"Creating Peace in Sri Lanka contains a series of interrelated chapters by Sri Lankan, British, and American authorities on the war and its aftermath. They discuss how to end the war and how the island nation can heal its physical and psychic wounds."--BOOK JACKET.
