For decades, Sri Lanka experienced civil war between the rebel Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) and the Sri Lankan government. During the early parts of 2009, the war reached a climax, ending the death of tens of thousands of civilians, military personnel and the rebels. This book is based on the stories captured by Frances Harrison, the resident BBC correspondent in Sri Lanka from 2000-2004, who interviewed survivors, whose horrific stories she recounts in this book.
