Talented writers and illustrators from all over the world have come together to produce this book. They were inspired by their feelings about the conflict in Iraq, though the wars covered in this collection range from a 13th Century Crusade, through the earlier wars of the 20th Century, to recent conflicts in Nigeria, the Falklands, Kosovo and South Africa, right up to what was happening in Iraq in 2003. With over one hundred and fifty poems, stories and pictures about war and peace, Lines in the Sand offers hope for the future.
