Our Bodies, Their Battlefields: War Through the Lives of Women

Christina Lamb’s harrowing book documents the systematic use of sexual violence as a weapon of war. Drawing on decades of reporting, Lamb centres the voices of women from conflicts across the globe. Her writing is direct and compassionate, refusing to sensationalise while exposing brutality and impunity. The book also examines the political and military structures that enable such crimes to persist. While deeply disturbing, it is also a testament to resilience and courage. This is essential, urgent reading that demands attention and action.
