True Teen Stories from Syria: Surviving Civil War
Since 2011, Syria has been embroiled in a civil war that has killed more than a quarter of a million people, and it all started with teenagers.

Peaceful protests calling for the young people's release turned violent when the government sent the army to break up the crowd. This compelling volume introduces readers to the country and region. It includes teens' firsthand accounts of the conflict, both displaced teens and those who have become soldiers, to paint a holistic, engaging portrait of one of today's worst human rights crises.
