2023 || Paperback || Rinske Vermeij e.a. || University of Groningen Press

Untold Stories of War
2020 || Paperback || Ava Molleson e.a. || University of Groningen Press

This book is here to help change that. Containing seven beautifully illustrated stories of conflict—from the Balkans to Africa, ...
