Children in War Summary

Children in War: A First-Hand Account of the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict by Elon Perry

Children in War is a story about vulnerable and helpless children at the mercy of bloodthirsty pompous leaders, who perpetually endanger them through bloody conflicts. It is about courage and survival against apparently overwhelming odds; a childhood in the shadow of continual war and severe poverty, under the terrifying threat of war, relentless danger, and fear. Children who find themselves living in constant anxiety, unable to play freely in their own yard for fear of sirens and shells. This is the story of millions of children around the world who are trapped in war zones, spending days and nights in shelters, instead of enjoying their days in schools and parks. Innocent children, who were forced to live in extreme deprivation due to the depletion of the state budget caused by the war efforts. Children who suffer from severe emotional and psychological trauma and frequently witness images and situations that will remain forever in their memory. The following story is based on real events and is accompanied by original photographs taken at the time of the events described in the book. It is narrated by a boy who lived his childhood and youth under fire, but when he grows up, joins a commando unit to take revenge on the enemy who robbed him of a normal and calm childhood. A little boy who could not comprehend the link between war and the lack of food, toys, and chocolate. This story can be an inspiration to people who find themselves in desperate situations. They can learn how against all odds and in any given situation one can survive difficulties, as long as one has the will, perseverance, and belief that anything is possible.
