From Afghanistan to Sierra Leone, Colombia to Northern Ireland, the atlas analyses all the key issues: the causes and the costs of war, the treaties, the arms trade, the death tolls, terrorism, child soldiers, refugees, the roles of the UN and the US, war crimes, peacebuilding - and maps all the processes involved.
