Organized into three sections, theory, research, and treatment, the 24 contributions to the book represent a multi-disciplinary effort to understand war-related traumatic stress and its impact
on life-course development, the aging process, and the diverse coping mechanisms employed by the victims. Survivors studied in the book include victims of the Nazi Holocaust and their children,
Cambodian refugees who survived the Khmer Rouge regime; Vietnam veterans; and World War II veterans. The material is well organized and a reference list is provided at the end of each chapter.
