false 129772 1 Zainab Salbi's media profile soared with her first book, <i>Between Two Worlds,</i> a memoir of growing up in Saddam Hussein's inner circle. She has been a guest on "Oprah," has been interviewed by Katie Couric, Al Franken, and George Stephanopoulos, and has been profiled in the <i>New York Times, The Washington Post,</i> and <i>People</i> magazine. Her organization, Women for Women International, plays a vital role in helping to heal war-torn nations including Afghanistan, Bosnia, Rwanda, Congo, Sudan, and Colombia. <br><br>With stunning images by award-winning photographers Susan Meiselas, Lekha Singh, and Sylvia Plachy, Salbi presents a riveting collection of letters and first-person narratives by amazing women who survived war's devastation and now must find the strength to rebuild families and communities. Throbbing with pain and loss yet glowing with courage and hope, <i>The Other Side of War</i> explores six regions where Women for Women International has helped survivors of the world's most tumultuous countries learn new skills, open small businesses and forge bonds with sponsors. <br><br>Overviews by the author explain how each nation's history led to violent conflict; then, with searing eloquence, the women tell their stories&#8212;of horror, cruelty, and suffering but also of profound inspiration as they work toward renewal and toward the day their fierce determination is rewarded with productivity, prosperity, and lasting joy. 124991 3 11 2006 The Other Side of War: Women's Stories of Survival and Hope total:20|5:13|4:5|3:1|2:1|1:0| 20 90 46 6 5 1 false false Fri Aug 22 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Fri Aug 22 08:41:12 -0700 2008 Fri Aug 22 09:02:25 -0700 2008 more...]]> 5 0 false false Wed Aug 05 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Wed Aug 05 08:44:57 -0700 2009 Wed Aug 05 08:52:42 -0700 2009 more...]]> 5 0 false false Sat Nov 07 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Sat Nov 07 21:54:29 -0800 2009 Sat Nov 07 22:19:02 -0800 2009 more...]]> 5 0 false false Sun Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2006 Wed Sep 03 21:07:32 -0700 2008 Wed Sep 03 21:09:45 -0700 2008 I love these opening lines from the book:
